The Cabinet
Our project was an immersive exhibition, set in a real life labyrinth. The visitors got to make their own way through, finding the different installations in the process.
Exotica
The installation by the artist Bilyana Desheva included a series of oil paintings of a jungle landscape. The visitor is situated amongst the landscape, presented with interactive obstacles of mesh wire. That which we can never perceive fully is the unknown and that is the nature of man - a pursuit of the unknown and the exotic; the eternal enigma.
Scientifica
The immersive monumental installation by the artist Velichka Djambazova leads the visitor to the box within a box - an instrument giving us a direct view of the exploding of the atom; the birth of a star. Walking into the futuristic metal box, we bear witness to the clash between micro- and macro cosmos.
Naturalia
The sculpture Siana Damyanova brings forth the steps of the anima mundi. Creating a vertical view of the horizontal terrain from papier-mâché, the artist turns our attention to what we humans tend to ignore - the trace fossils of the presence of life.
Artificialia
With her site-specific multimedia installation the visual artist Gergana Ivanova gives us a look into the structure of memory. How do we modify everyday objects in their relation to our memories and how do we change the history, according to our own subjective perception?
