Press Release of Bulgarian Pavilion
The Neighbors is an interactive multimedia installation that brings to light the silenced and faded memories of survivors of political violence during the communist era in Bulgaria. The project was created by Krasimira Butseva, Lilia Topouzova and Julian Chehirian, and is the result of 20 years of historical and artistic research. Vasil Vladimirov is the curator of the project in the context of Bulgaria's official participation in the 60th Venice Biennale.
The installation partially recreates the homes of the survivors where the meetings and conversations with them took place. Set within these private spaces are fragments of oral history interviews conducted by the artists, field recordings, and videos from two former campsites: Lovech and Belene.
These ethnographic and historical investigations trace both the lived experience of violence and the deep scars left by arrests and imprisonment. The project presents the consequences of the deliberate silencing of decades of state violence and the absence of memory in contemporary public consciousness. It constitutes a space in which to witness people labeled as foreigners within the borders of Bulgaria, in direct response to Adriano Pedrosa's call to analyze the theme “Foreigners everywhere”.
