Are you a Modern Girl? Rituals and Nowness is trying to look beyond the invisible aspects in which rituals are present, writes in its presentation. Including photography, video, sculpture and performance, the exhibition presents different perspectives on the disappearance, transformation and resilience of rituals in modern society.

Visitors will be able to see part of the work of British Juno Calypso, who appears as a lonely figure in all her photos – whether she is in a motel or in an abandoned underground hopper. « The art of Calypso is deeply ominous, super-sick and humorous. It is a cinematic, introspective art for the Age of » I « and » Selfie « , » Eddie Frankl wrote about her in Time Out.
To explore the inseparable connection between the spaces that people inhabit and their bodies are characteristic of the work of the Bulgarian artist Veronica Desova. In his photographs he uses a slow and double exposure, blurry and various other methods of distorting the image, focusing on the ephemeral aspects of the human body in motion, nature and light.
Gerry Georgieva, on the other hand, uses video, performance and multimedia installations for performative improvisations in front of a camera to explore ambiguous cultural language, often rooted in pop music, show business and traditional folklore heritage.
Sofia Dimova is also a multidisciplinary artist and combines various materials and techniques that help her create a relationship between the personal, fundamental and sociopolitical problems that seek the content and message beyond classic aesthetics.
