Euro de Lux. hiring, offering. extraordinary, live.

exhibition of photographs by Boryana Ventzislavova





This project is based on the social aspect and the psychological condition of the victims caught in the nets of human trafficking. Central protagonists are women from East European States (the former socialist countries) who are forced by means of sexual exploitation, violence and threats to prostitute in the EU member states as well as in their own countries.

Large size digital photographs of empty night club interiors, brothels and hotel rooms, showing the working ambience and the everyday life of prostitutes in Bulgaria and abroad represent the environment in which the victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution find themselves. The photo exhibition focuses on the particularities of the material working ambience in Bulgaria and in the West. As a supplementary material there is a textual part, which makes the problematic more concrete.

The parallel film and debate programme in the Red hall aims to initiate discussions on the problems of human trafficking and sexual abuse.

EURO DE LUX is a parallel presentation of the It Was Always Dark Outside project, which first part will be shown within the framework of the Meeting Place project in the Sofia City Art Gallery between May 30th and June 6th.
