What Is This Here?
photo exhibition by Yovo Panchev and Julia Kadiyska
The exhibition is part of Debuts on the Border project supported by the Swiss Cultural Programme in Bulgaria.

The idea of the What Is This Here runs the risk to remain in the background at the expense of the commentary value of the project on its own boundary type or approach. The reproductions are in a gradation one toward the other and in comparison with their edited copies. The two directions for development – of the photo image character and of its interaction with the manipulated visual material - arouse text associations. Following the attempt of modern art to be democratic and non-formal, we apply the same themes in three different ways. We hope that the viewer will find his/her corresponding object in reading of objects and watching the text.

Julia Kadiyska (photos, graphic effects). Graduated in painting from the Sofia Art School. Studied film animation at the new Bulgarian University and at the same time she was working for a German company. “I used to take photos as a hobby before. However, amatory photography could not satisfy my wish for work in that field. That is why, after I was offered a job in a newspaper, now I take pictures both of the hottest daily issues and as a hobby.”

Yovo Panchev (text, photos). Graduated in Cultural Studies in Montreal. At present is occupied with creation of texts, artistic psycho-social practices, assistant stage decoration and “home-made” modern art for private consumption. “I observe the text as an image and the image as a text.”
