Indiferent dacÄ sunt ironice, meditative sau auto-referenÈiale, proiectele sale recurg cu maxima libertate la multi-media, tehnici Èi tehnologii mixte, parafrazÃnd asumat diverse stiluri, tendinÈe, concepte interdisciplinare, abordÄri Èi citate figurative.  Numitorul comun al acestei Ãntreprinderi atÃt de diverse Èi ramificate pare a fi sintagma âartistul nu este o insulÄâ, logo-ul care reuneÈte poeÈi, scriitori, filosofi, dornici sÄ contribuie la conturarea unui nou discurs, amplu contextualizat prin publicaÈii Èi evenimente de teatru-acÈiune Âcare poartÄ toate amprenta Èi semnÄtura conceptualÄ a artistului. Â Refractar la orice tip de norme, Zgondoiu se opune deschis atÃt standardelor occidentale cÃt Èi discursului istoric Èi social din RomÃnia ultimilor ani, caracterizat de recursul frecvent la expresii ce reflectÄ un proces de politizare a gÃndirii critice. Ãn acest fel artistul ÃÈi construieÈte un loc al sÄu, asumat, Ãntr-o societate culturalÄ globaliza(n)tÄ ce se lasÄ condusÄ de legea cererii Èi a ofertei." Silvia MÃllegger  "Zgondoiu is an avid observer of cultural issues, political stereotypes but also of his own identity. Key words such as freedom, crises, communism, capitalism, identity, matrix and the critical use of social media are cornerstones of his conceptual approach. Part critical, thought provoking and ironic, part self-referential, his mix-media projects freely blend in different mediums, paraphrase various styles, tendencies, inter-disciplinary concepts, and figurative art approaches.  The best way to sum up this multi-tasking undertaking is through the phrase âthe artist is not an islandâ, the banner under which poets, writers, philosophers are brought together to shape a new discourse, broadly contextualised through publications and theatre-actions, all bearing the artistâs concept signature. Â Zgondoiuâs working manner is heterogeneous and disregards norms as he openly opposes Western standards as much as the politically informed thinking and formal expressions reflective of local Romanian history and society. This is how he marks his very own place as an artist in a strongly market-oriented, globalising cultural society."  Silvia MÃllegger Â
