They are unable to offer a sustainable response, caught between the desire for a “didactic” classification system—constructed to be universally understood—and the risk of slipping into a situational, opportunistic political-cultural gesture that lacks the reflexivity advocated by Hal Foster:\n\n“In this text, I emphasized that reflexivity is necessary to guard against excessive identification with the Other (through personal involvement, self-distancing, etc.), which could compromise that otherness.“¹\n\nThe word “border” comes from a lexical field related to war, and more generally – to organization, a form of legitimacy and stability that creates a sense of security and belonging. In a world of dematerialization and immediacy, it is becoming increasingly difficult – without being contradictory – to maintain a “categorical” cultural narrative, without it excluding the Other, his perception and his differences…\n\nTherefore, it is fair and important to recognize the significance of BUNA – a polymorphic event, unfolding in a variety of spaces – increasingly diverse and often devoid of traditional divisions. A festival that takes place in a country where history and geography reveal the significance of cultural syncretism. A country where a figure like Yulia Krasteva emphasizes the theme of exile and offers a reading of the Woman\u002FMan division, going beyond the boundaries of sexual categories – and thus opening up questions of subjectivity, identity and otherness. And in a coastal, university and port city like Varna, which – as Gyz La Rivière explains in her book New Neapolis² – with each port concentrating diversity and rethinking the concept of community.\n\nIn a humanity reshaped by new technologies, it will be fascinating to see how artists born or based in a place symbolic of cultural abundance can, through the diversity of creative tools (languages, images, sound, AI, dance, performance, etc.), and through a shared subject that resists established classifications, express this zero degree of discovery and otherness in the era of 5.0.\n\nAs Coco Fusco explains in her 1994 essay The Other History of Intercultural Performance, from 1994:\n\n“Our project aimed to focus on the ‘zero degree’ of intercultural relations in order to determine the origin of the debates that make ‘discovery’ and ‘otherness’ two interconnected issues.“³\n\n—Caroline Arhuero\n\n¹ In the Face of History.

These ghostly appearances suggest that the so-called “Other Side” may now reside not in spiritual dimensions, but in digitally mapped purgatories, where memory, data, and ghosts converge. Here, our loved ones are not fully gone; they occupy a digital heterotopia (1), both real and unreal, public and personal, functional and poetic, a mirror of reality that lags behind – showing people who are gone, places that have changed, moments that can never be revisited, embedded in a world that has already moved on. It is the ultimate non-place (2): a flattened, hyperreal, always-in-transit cartography where any location is reduced to a waystation. However, the accidental emotional depth that death has imbued these images with breaks open the non-place and forces it to hold memory, mourning, and nostalgia – things it was never designed for. The emotional impact comes from this very contradiction: an impersonal, data-driven system becomes an accidental cemetery of gestures. A neutral but omnipresent eye that maps without care and sees without knowing, a ghost machine that constantly traverses, scans, and updates while unknowingly archiving what time has erased.","Instagram: @echilotta Facebook: Elena Chergilanova Website: https:\u002F\u002Freadymag.website\u002Fu2106302780\u002F4123494\u002F",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":377,"documentId":378,"name":369,"slug":379,"country":117,"biography":380,"website":374,"createdAt":381,"updatedAt":381,"publishedAt":382,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},65,"bowog26tfmbfhvqzphae9h66","elena-chergilanova-buna-2025","Elena Chergilanova is a graphic designer and visual artist on a perpetual quest of discovering beauty in the mundane.

By giving birds paperwork they neither need nor understand, the project draws attention to the absurdity of human-made systems of control, categorisation, and belonging. In this way, the work directly addresses Buna’s 2025 curatorial theme, which asks how we might reimagine borders, identity, and institutions in a time of deterritorialisation, technological transformation, and geopolitical instability. The work highlights the fragility of institutions caught between didactic control and performative inclusivity, and suggests the potential of non-human narratives to reshape our understanding of exile, migration, and citizenship. By centering the migratory bird—a creature both everywhere and nowhere—this work invites viewers to consider their own relation to borders—physical, cultural, and epistemological—and to reflect on what kind of community can exist when belonging is no longer confined to geography.\nTravelling across countries and habitats, my journey has led me to Lithuania, where thousands of birds cross through the Ventes Ragas Ornitological station each spring. There, they are being caught in the world's biggest bird trap in the world and fitted with a uniquely numbered ring. The measurements recorded in their “passports” are real data taken directly from each bird. This process of ringing helps scientists better understand the hidden lives and migratory patterns of these birds. I carried the project with me to the far-away island of Antikythera in Greece, where we ring birds on their migratory route north. Beyond scientific research, this project aims to introduce and spread knowledge about birds, bring awareness to their irreplaceable habitats and draw attention to the threats facing each species but also to question our sense of belonging.","Instagram: @iliyana.grigorova Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Filiyana.grigorova.16\u002F",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":482,"documentId":483,"name":474,"slug":484,"country":117,"biography":485,"website":479,"createdAt":486,"updatedAt":486,"publishedAt":487,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},82,"a0gozfh5gzvlsjs5f9q5c6ex","iliyana-grigorova-buna-2025","Iliyana Grigorova is a Bulgarian photographer and interdisciplinary artist whose recent practice has been shaped by birdwatching, field observation, and ecological research.

It is a transit zone in transition, a setting of intertwined histories within a complex geopolitical landscape. Filmed along the coasts of Bulgaria and Georgia, as well as aboard a ferry linking the two countries, the work focuses on animality and the presence of the non-human within human-shaped environments.\n\nThe title Unleveled Sea refers to agitated, inscrutable waters, to the turbulences of our times, and to the imbalances among the different protagonists it depicts—whether between neighboring countries, between the cows transported on the ferry and the humans responsible for them, or between the artist behind the camera and the people shown on screen. The sea level, or horizon, often anchors the framing of the landscape and becomes a connecting element between the different parts of the Black Sea.\n\nThe project emerges from the artist’s ongoing research into the socially and politically produced histories that shape the geography of the Black Sea region, with Bulgaria as point of departure. After a phase of extensive archival and library research the artist explored cities like Varna, Burgas, Batumi and Poti as a pedestrian and travelled as a single passenger on the ferry. This meandering process, guided by unforeseen discoveries and surprising encounters, lies at the core of the artistic methods and leads to the filmic process. In Unleveled Sea, the artist investigates perspectives, relations, and sensitivities within the vast, fluid space of negotiation that is the Black Sea. Approaching this space in its plurality means moving beyond geographical boundaries into a layered, ongoing artistic process—shaped by the artist’s own background, his investigations, the encounters and discoveries that continually redefine his relationship to the world and to others in unfamiliar contexts.","Instagram: @janis_sch_ Website: www.js-lab.net",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":534,"documentId":535,"name":526,"slug":536,"country":537,"biography":538,"website":531,"createdAt":539,"updatedAt":539,"publishedAt":540,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},84,"vl9gwqd8lwge4mb4yc4xzhx9","janis-schroeder-buna-2025","Germany","Janis Schroeder works as an artist, filmmaker, and photographer based in Berlin.

The work reactivates and examines myths, documents, revolutionary texts and propaganda from the time of the Peasants‘ Wars around 1525 and places them in a timeless context.\n\nThe pamphlet of the 12 Peasant Articles as early printed matter forms a narrative and conceptual focal point: the media revolution of book printing as a „new“ medium of the time and its influence on the reorganization of social power relations is set in relation to more recent political events such as the Arab Spring and the role of early smartphones and social media. Intermediate sequences take the narrative back to the court of Bao Zheng, who became a heroic figure through his commitment to the peasantry around the year 1000 (parallel to the invention of paper and book printing in China). Text and libretto for the spatial sound composition interweave multilingual texts from verbal battles between opposing factions of the Peasants‘ War, fragments from historical chronicles (the Snail Controversy, the Weinsberg Bloody Deed), protest slogans from the Arab Spring (triggered by the harassment of a greengrocer), texts from Bao Zheng scenes from Chinese opera and TV series as well as from reformers and political revolutionaries.\n\nIn a key scene, a historical identification of the peasant movement of 1525 as an “embryonic proletarian element” by Friedrich Engels is invoked vocally (mezzo-soprano: Hasti Molavian), formulated in Engel‘s socio-historical and simultaneously encouraging analysis “The German Peasants‘ War”, written in the wake of the equally failed revolution of 1848.","Instagram: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fluksaremh\u002F Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Flukas.rehm1 Website: www.lukasrehm.net","Award in Category \"Individual Artist\"",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":626,"documentId":627,"name":617,"slug":628,"country":537,"biography":629,"website":622,"createdAt":630,"updatedAt":630,"publishedAt":631,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},93,"ni53c3757puq2gu6lfz4h4yy","lukas-rehm-buna-2025","Lukas Rehm (*1989, DE) is a Frankfurt based artist and musician working in the field of new and old time-based media, performative and spatial installation art, documentary and experimental fiction.

Each work presents a single form, similar enough to suggest kinship, yet never precisely identical. At first glance the grid reads as calm and meditative, an ordered field of muted hues and soft luminosity. But closer looking reveals countless cracks, irregular edges, and shifts of tone. The image begins to tremble; the eye is drawn to gaps rather than wholes. What appears stable becomes quietly unsettled.\n\nThe repeated shape has no official name. It is neither body nor landscape, yet it borrows traits from both: the curvature of a spine, the silhouette of a hill, the weight of an embryo... Its unnamed status matters. By refusing to settle into a single category, the form signals a dispersed subjectivity, a self-displaced in a world where fixed borders collapse and multiple states of being run in parallel. As viewers move from panel to panel, they confront near‑doubles that fail to align perfectly. The comfort of sameness slips into the unease of misalignment.\n\nLight is the project’s primary material rather than a mere illumination device. Canvas are mounted on a custom light‑box wall; the cold 6500 K source pushes through the paint layer, exposing micro‑textures otherwise invisible. Light becomes diagnostic. It scans the surface like an X‑ray, revealing fractures and voids. Even the smallest fissure is made monumental, suggesting that within every calm exterior lies an architecture of tension.\n\nThe title \"Existence Misplaced\" operates as a conceptual trigger. It proposes that the viewer’s initial serenity is itself “misplaced” once they read the words. Suddenly the grid looks less harmonious and more precarious. The work now asks: What does it mean to exist wrongly, to be out of place, out of time, beyond a previous version of being, or scattered across parallel states of being? Are these forms still searching for an original home, or has that anchor evaporated?\n\nThe installation invites a participatory awareness. Visitors are drawn close by the glow, only to become conscious of their own bodies outlined against the dark room. They, too, are suspended between stillness and movement, presence and displacement. In that moment the paintings cease to be passive objects; they act as thresholds through which viewers glimpse the fragility, multiplicity, and provisional nature of belonging in the contemporary world.","Instagram: @lumturiekrass Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Flumturie.krasniqi.97",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":643,"documentId":644,"name":635,"slug":645,"country":646,"biography":647,"website":640,"createdAt":648,"updatedAt":648,"publishedAt":649,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},95,"w774qt3vino0f9e8qczggisf","lumturie-krasniqi-buna-2025","Kosovo","Lumturie Krasniqi (b. 1997) is an artist based in Prishtina, Kosova.

A collaborative work in between the genres of queer science fiction, dance, and road film, Dragon Hunt is set in the weirdening landscape of the Dalmatian Hinterland. Loosely narrative, the film follows a transgenerational pair on a journey of “dragon hunting”. In Delany’s novel, dragon hunting functions as a ritual of reciprocal experience—a technology of peace allowing different species to inhabit another’s perception. Delany translated his experiences of cruising in pre-AIDS New York into a vision of interspecies sensory empathy. The flickering rhythms of the film seek to reify this concept through its structure and production method, using machine learning, choreography, and collaborative filmmaking. Animated by the conch shell’s sound and shaped through somatic practice, mimicry, and media translation, Dragon Hunt explores mutual transformability as a shared, relational process between bodies, technologies, and the landscape.","Instagram: @akvae Website: http:\u002F\u002Fperforming.site",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":696,"documentId":697,"name":688,"slug":698,"country":699,"biography":700,"website":693,"createdAt":701,"updatedAt":701,"publishedAt":702,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},103,"s5mcvkf15d846pbey3c4y2de","marko-gutic-mizimakov-buna-2025","Croatia \u002F Belgium","Marko Gutić Mižimakov is a visual, performance and text based artist living between Brussels and Zagreb.

At its core, the work is built from fragments of cinematic material taken from Cold War–era films produced by the major film industries of the Western powers, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom. These fragments are meticulously redrawn onto the pages of books, maps, and encyclopedias written and published during the same period in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Such materials often explored theoretical reflections on socialism or functioned as cartographic documents of cities, borders, states, and continents. This juxtaposition of Western cinematic imagery and socialist printed matter creates a layered dialogue between conflicting ideological worlds.\n\nYugoslavia was, in this historical moment, one of the rare countries behind the “Iron Curtain” where Hollywood films, television series, jazz, rock and roll, and even Coca-Cola were not only permitted but became an integral part of everyday life. American cinema, as the most widespread medium of artistic expression, entertainment, and often propaganda, held a unique role in Yugoslav society. It enjoyed absolute dominance among foreign films in local theaters, shaping the cultural imagination of generations. Through the glamour, wealth, and unconventional lifestyles portrayed on screen, people living in Yugoslav socialism were offered the opportunity to dream the American dream—albeit under non-American conditions.\n\nGrowing up amid the ruins of this system, in a period that can be described as an endless transition from socialism to neoliberalism, I came to realize that these contradictions and extremes deeply defined my worldview, shaping my perspectives, hopes, and expectations. The legacy of that paradoxical coexistence—between socialist ideology and Western cultural influence—became central to my artistic inquiry.\n\nThe narrative of The Plot introduces viewers to a series of dreamlike and nightmarish sequences: scenes of escape, pursuit, panic, fear, surveillance, and looming catastrophe. These images coalesce into a new collage-like visual language, encouraging viewers to navigate multiple layers of meaning and interpretation through the prism of seemingly opposed ideologies. The inextricable entanglement of political, social, and cultural history is emphasized through stark contrasts of ink, abrupt montage cuts, and the tense, original score by composer Pavle Popov.\n\nReferencing the visual and narrative language of surrealist cinema, the story follows a man and a woman who encounter each other within their dreams. Together, they struggle to evade an approaching cataclysm—one that constantly shifts its form from human-made disasters, such as bombs, airplanes, and explosions, to natural catastrophes, including tidal waves, fires, and earthquakes. Yet even when they awaken from their nightmare, they find themselves trapped inside television screens, condemned to endlessly watch a film within a film within a film.","Instagram: @nemanja_nikolic_visualarts Facebook: Nemanja Nikolic Website: www.nemanjanikolic.com",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":772,"documentId":773,"name":764,"slug":774,"country":255,"biography":775,"website":769,"createdAt":776,"updatedAt":776,"publishedAt":777,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},114,"gbdipxez6z48j7kxq0ea6a2p","nemanja-nikolic-buna-2025","Nemanja Nikolić (b. 1987, Serbia) is a visual artist and assistant professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where he completed his PhD in Painting in 2019.

At its core lies a custom-made support bot trained on real-life experiences shared by mothers, which speaks back to the public in real time, offering responses weighted toward empathy, solidarity, and reflection. These conversations are translated live into abstract visuals that evolve throughout the exhibition, forming an ambient choreography of language, sound, and form.\n\nThe project emerges from the tension between visibility and erasure: motherhood is central to the reproduction of life, yet often relegated to silence, shame, or glorification. Re.born challenges these binaries by giving voice, literally and visually, to the nuanced, plural realities of maternal work, mental load, and social expectations.\n\nBy integrating artificial intelligence into this intimate terrain, Re.born addresses how knowledge and care circulate in dematerialised, deterritorialised ways in the age of algorithmic culture. The work resists static identities or institutional classifications; instead, it invites fluid, multilingual dialogue. Each user shapes the bot’s behavior and the visual environment through their questions, suggesting that identity is not a fixed archive, but a porous, evolving interface.\n\nThe piece speaks to contemporary debates around borders, not only geopolitical, but emotional, bodily, and digital. It considers motherhood itself as a border condition: a threshold state between individual and collective, labour and love, self and Other. In doing so, Re.born proposes a shared space of reflection, where excluded narratives re-enter public discourse, not as data points to be sorted, but as living testimonies that reconfigure our understanding of care and community.","Instagram: @radadechev Website: www.radhamateva.com",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":841,"documentId":842,"name":833,"slug":843,"country":117,"biography":844,"website":838,"createdAt":845,"updatedAt":845,"publishedAt":846,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},122,"ex4fbjsrew43t9qy9x5qidiw","rada-mateva-buna-2025","Rada Mateva is a video artist, director and cultural producer.

The straight wall - linear, rigid, and absolute, is an act of defiance against nature. There are no straight lines in the natural world. The moment one appears, it reveals the presence of human intellect and intentionality. The wall separates, divides, protects. It is the first gesture of architecture, and perhaps the first gesture of power.\nIn the context of present-day society, the symbolic act of separation is undergoing radical change. Physical boundaries between societies are increasingly losing their power and authority, and the world is gradually moving towards a common universal society. The walls that we once built to establish boundaries, offer protection or limit access are now being replaced by invisible, often digital, barriers. The separation is no longer between here and there, us and them, but between reality and simulation, presence and projection, the tangible and the intangible.\nThis installation presents a linear arrangement of five mirrored columns, spaced evenly at two-meter intervals. Together they evoke the idea of a wall, but one that is fragmented, transparent, and dematerialized. The reflective surfaces absorb their surroundings, blurring the distinction between objects and the environment, and between the self and others. As viewers move around the installation, they see their reflection fractured and multiplied, which resembles the split identities that often exist in virtual spaces.\nIn the era of hyper-connectivity and digital duality, a new type of boundary is emerging: the one between the real and the virtual, and between our physical selves and our digitally curated personas. Rather than blocking or excluding, this wall reflects, distorts and invites introspection, becoming a totem of transition - a shimmering threshold that questions not only where we are, but also who we are in the age of virtual realities.\nRather than building walls, the installation deconstructs them, leaving only vertical fragments behind, like relics of a time when borders were solid and identities were singular. The piece invites visitors to discover themselves not as static beings in a single world, but as shifting presences navigating the complex multilayered landscape of Society 5.0.","Instagram: @smplarchitecture Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Fsmpl.architecture\u002F Website: https:\u002F\u002Fsimple-architecture.com",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":929,"documentId":930,"name":921,"slug":931,"country":117,"biography":932,"website":926,"createdAt":933,"updatedAt":933,"publishedAt":934,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},132,"iqcctoom71kzp6ctfv7ukcg5","simple-architecture-buna-2025","Simple Architecture is an interdisciplinary studio working at the intersection of architecture, design and art.

In this exhibition, I confront questions that often have no clear answers, and explore solutions that sometimes fail to resolve the problems they address. My practice is deeply rooted in memory—fragmented, fleeting, and subjective—but I constantly extend it beyond the personal, connecting my experiences to broader societal and global concerns. I am interested in how intimate narratives can reflect, illuminate, or challenge larger social and political dynamics.\nMemories, for me, are both material and metaphor. They are elusive, layered, and sometimes contradictory, yet they provide the means to explore how the past shapes the present. Through my work, I invite viewers to consider the intersections of individual and collective histories, and to reflect on the ways small, personal stories can resonate with broader cultural experiences.\nTwo works in particular embody these concerns: Immigrant, Emigrant or Maybe I and Monument Dedicated to the End of 20th and Beginning of 21st Century (with two unintentional human errors). In Immigrant, Emigrant or Maybe I, a sugar-coated “Europe” conceals 2,700 sharp screws and 13 kilograms of candy. This tactile juxtaposition represents the promises and perils of migration, capturing both global crises and the intimate fears, desires, and resilience of those who move across borders. The work reflects my interest in how personal experience is inseparable from social and political realities.\nIn Monument Dedicated to the End of 20th and Beginning of 21st Century, I examine what we choose to commemorate and what we overlook. The “two unintentional human errors” draw attention to imperfection, omission, and contradiction in collective memory. I aim to provoke reflection on the values and priorities that shape our legacy and the stories we tell about history and the present.\nMy process combines classical printmaking techniques, installation, and mixed media, allowing me to render abstract ideas tangible. I work with metaphor, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship to engage viewers, encouraging them to look closely, question assumptions, and reconsider the narratives we construct about time, memory, and society.\nThrough State of Things, I hope to open a space where reflection, empathy, and critical awareness coexist. I believe art may not always change reality, but it can illuminate it, reveal hidden truths, and offer new ways of perceiving the tensions and continuities that define our existence.","Instagram: @janeslieva Facebook: slavica.janeslieva Website: https:\u002F\u002Fslavicajaneslieva.blogspot.com\u002F",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":946,"documentId":947,"name":938,"slug":948,"country":102,"biography":949,"website":943,"createdAt":950,"updatedAt":950,"publishedAt":951,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},133,"ht5d4t2yx56xpqzyw5n7uokw","slavica-janeslieva-buna-2025","Slavica Janešlieva is a visual artist known for her distinctive multimedia and intermedial expression, blending personal archives, domestic narratives, and intimate microcosms with broader socio-political, historical, and philosophical themes.

These textiles have long been a focus of the artist’s explorations, and in this project they continue to inspire, becoming a visual and conceptual source for the creation of multilayered graphic compositions. Layers: Still Life connects with the forum’s theme through its understanding of “discovery” – not as a technological breakthrough, but as an intimate act of recovering visual memory and placing it into a new context.\n\nThe project explores the idea of the “layer” not only as a visual element, but also as a metaphor for accumulated personal and collective experience. The contemporary remake of the still-life, inspired by the kovyorcheta, recognizes otherness within the familiar – the everyday object transformed by the layers of time, media, and perception. At the core of the composition lies an acrylic painting on canvas, in which the still-life becomes a transfer of the form and spirit of the textile prototype into a painterly, conceptual form. Over this base painting, several transparent panels are superimposed, each screen-printed with a separate layer – a fragment, whether abstract, detailed, or patterned – that can also be viewed individually, outside the context of the whole.\n\nTogether, these layers form a rich, stratified visual language – an emulsion of painting, printmaking, and object. The use of transparent layers adds physical depth to the image and echoes the way the digital era overlays realities – analog and virtual, personal and collective. In this way, the work becomes a material link between past and present, between the handmade and the technological.\n\nThe work aims to create images that reflect the complex nature of contemporary existence – at once archive and projection, tradition and innovation. In the context of Society 5.0, where humans and technology coexist in symbiosis, it asks: can “otherness” be internal, local, feminine, handmade – and still remain relevant? Layers proposes a form of discovery not as progress, but as a return, a rearrangement, and a re-experiencing of cultural traces through new visual methods.

Each work represents an intimate note of a lived spiritual experience that contributed to the inner development of the author and enriched him experientially, so that he recognized it as a spiritual value and a memory that requires inheritance, in a delicate and clean visual record.\n\nIn his intention to \"capture the thin line between the idea that happiness is outside of us and the concept that we need to find happiness within ourselves\", Vladan Sibinović tells us to stop, take a breath and ponder. The author, with his own experience, philosophy and references to Jung's psychology, warns us about the fallacy of waiting and achieving happiness. Happiness as a phenomenon is elusive and intangible, invisible in its coming and going, but its presence and absence we deeply feel, and because of the search for it, we often wander.\n\nClosely related to the phenomenon of happiness is the repetitive motif of the game, which is symbolically represented by marbles on most of the works. They are a symbol of happiness and carelessness that we felt in childhood. Through play, we learned and developed our personality. It was the only constant in our first knowledge of the world and ourselves. In addition to marble, an indispensable element of the paintings is a duality in the interior-exterior relationship. The viewer is almost always placed in a room from which he can see the mountain, the sky or the sea. Here, the author illustrates the fine line between the search for happiness somewhere outside (exterior, externality, activity, extroversion and openness) and within ourselves (it is that cozy room, home, personal space where we are safest, introversion and introspection).\n\nThe key characteristic of Vladan's visual expression is precision and purity, the harmonious arrangement of just a few colors that provide exceptional peace and harmony that pleases the eye and establishes a complete balance of the composition. The very painting technique and the use of special brushes made of natu- ral hair, but also certain motifs such as - Koi fish, Taiyaki cake, sake cups, Mount Fuji... point to the extremely rich heritage of Japanese culture that the author cherishes.\n\nSibinović creates precisely and thoughtfully. He carefully chooses his emotional experiences and integrate them into a work that provides an apparently desolate scene at first, but is actually very rich in a personal and extremely meaningful narrative. His paintings are quiet and patient, I would say. The author intentionally and wittily disrupts their tenderness and harmony with certain illogicalities and irregularities, pointing to the duality of life itself, which never unfolds as we imagined it. This is best illustrated by the line of Cohen's song, which is only one of Vladan's inspirations - \"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in\".\n\nAna Kršljanin, art historian","Instagram: @sibinovicvladan Website: www.vladansibinovic.com",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":1051,"documentId":1052,"name":1043,"slug":1053,"country":255,"biography":1054,"website":1048,"createdAt":1055,"updatedAt":1055,"publishedAt":1056,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},144,"j8u2518k6whgx8a6c4q6540p","vladan-sibinovic-buna-2025","Vladan Sibinovic is a visual artist who was born in Belgrade, Serbia, where he received his Master’s Degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Art, graduating top of his class in 2011.

Central to the project is the creation of a handcrafted football net, knotted using macramé techniques, produced on abandoned or underused playgrounds. This act of making is a ritual of patience, physical labor, and social interaction—a collective practice that transforms a simple object into a symbol of togetherness and cultural exchange.\n\nThe project stages a series of small-sided football matches once the net is complete. These matches serve as an artistic event and community celebration where distinctions between artist, participant, and audience dissolve. The playing field becomes a shared site of encounter, dialogue, and meaning-making, emphasizing embodied presence and collective agency.\n\nAs a site-specific work, 3 Corners = 1 Penalty adapts to the unique spatial, social, and cultural conditions of each location it inhabits. The handcrafted net is left as a lasting gift to the community, a resource for continued play and social gathering beyond the duration of the project.\n\nDrawing on the language of folk handicraft and sporting culture, the project explores fluidity of roles and identities: the artwork is both object and playing field; the creators are both artisans and athletes; the audience becomes teammate, fan, and participant. This blurring dismantles conventional boundaries of authorship, professionalism, and spectatorship, fostering a new model of collective authorship and shared cultural experience.\n\nIn the context of increasing automation, digital abstraction, and social fragmentation, 3 Corners = 1 Penalty offers a counterpoint by reclaiming the value of physical presence, direct human interaction, and embodied ritual. Football here is not just a sport but a global cultural code that embodies shared histories and urban life, repositioned as a medium for community-building and micro-geopolitical discovery—discovery not as conquest but as attentive presence and local connection.\n\nUltimately, 3 Corners = 1 Penalty challenges us to rethink how art, sport, and community intersect, proposing that through collective making and play, we can cultivate belonging and presence in a technologically mediated world.","Instagram: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fbenjaminbeljan\u002F Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Fprofile.php?id=100012718335318",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":1067,"documentId":1068,"name":1059,"slug":1069,"country":1070,"biography":1071,"website":1064,"createdAt":1072,"updatedAt":1072,"publishedAt":1073,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},146,"nobc7rdzg05ohvymnt9eshkf","zeljko-beljan-buna-2025","Croatia","Željko Beljan is a visual artist whose practice explores the phenomenon of handicraft and its position within contemporary art.

Opposite him is an empty picture frame - his gaze fixed beyond the physical world. Behind him hangs a necrologue: a picture of my grandmother, who passed away three years ago and after whom I am named. Since her death, my grandfather places her photo on the table each time he eats, as if she were still sharing his meals.\nThis gesture—tender, persistent, and entirely analog—reveals a kind of otherness that stands in contrast to our increasingly digital realities. In his act, we see the persistence of the past within the present, the refusal to let go in a world that is always urging us to move on. Here, love is not virtual, networked, or optimised; it is tactile, worn, and fiercely human.\nThe painting is titled LOVE not only to honour their bond, but to invite reflection on how we define presence, connection, and memory in the age of 5.0. Where does a person go when they are no longer physically with us? And can emotional fidelity be a kind of resistance - a discovery of truth in the midst of noise?\n\nHow its related to topic:\nIn a time defined by artificial intelligence, automation, and rapidly evolving technologies - an age we now call Society 5.0. - the concept of \"discovery\" often conjures visions of innovation, machine learning, and data. But in the quiet corners of rural Bulgaria, discovery takes another form: one rooted in human resilience, memory, and undying love. My painting, LOVE, is a portrait of such a discovery. The painting is titled LOVE not only to honour their bond, but to invite reflection on how we define presence, connection, and memory in the age of 5.0. Where does a person go when they are no longer physically with us? And can emotional fidelity be a kind of resistance - a discovery of truth in the midst of noise? By situating this very personal narrative within the broader theme of Discovery and Otherness I hope to bring attention to the quiet, rural, human stories that often go unnoticed in techno-centric discourses. I am from Bulgaria, part of the Balkan region where histories are deeply layered, and where grief, care, and resilience remain integral parts of the social fabric. This work is both a tribute and an inquiry - asking how we continue to love and to remember, even as society redefines the terms of our connection.\nLOVE is not a rejection of the future, but a reminder of what it must include: tenderness, ritual, and above all, enduring love. In the age of 5.0, the discovery of such timeless human truths may be our most radical act.","Instagram: @z.o.mbie ; @zombie.creates Facebook: Zlatomira Oprova Website: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zlatomiraoprova.com",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":1100,"documentId":1101,"name":1092,"slug":1102,"country":681,"biography":1103,"website":1097,"createdAt":1104,"updatedAt":1104,"publishedAt":1105,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},156,"lzwjh2ibjjjlqyfr1nasayu9","zlatomira-oprova-buna-2025","Zlatomira is a Bulgaria-born artist, based in Berlin.

What may appear paradoxical is, at its core, perhaps nothing more than a widespread sense of unpreparedness for something not yet fully understood—namely, how small the world has become due to our own electronic, mechanical discoveries and the new foundations of society.\nThe so-called “invasion” of migrants has primarily forced Europe to confront the very principles it proclaims as essential to its existence as a supranational entity. The reactions of different member states to the arrival of these people are, of course, also tied to political agendas: the chance to overturn governments and seize power through misinformation and populist rhetoric.\nMy work begins precisely from this point, using one of the symbols of belonging par excellence, the national anthem, in this case that of the European Union, the fourth movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. I use it as a means to invite reflection on themes of absence, fragmentation, loss, and the urgent need to rethink the community of people we live within.\nThe audience is guided one by one into a space where they are faced with a single musician, who plays for them the sheet music corresponding to their instrument’s part of the European Anthem. At the end of the performance the person leaves, making room for the next visitor, who will in turn find a different musician with a different instrument, performing for them their own part of the anthem.\nEach visitor therefore hears only one instrument at a time.

Initiated by the two artists in 2021, it grew out of a common idea in devoting time and effort in the attempt to build a new, however temporary, form of sisterhood that would connect women across generations. Materializing the invisible bond that connects women across race, nationality, and age, is a line tattooed on the body of the twenty-seven participants in the project to this date. Each of them selected and invited the next one, as a gesture of friendship and complicity. Marking the start of the SIS project was Petkova’s initiative to “correct” the interrupted lifeline of her palm by extending it with a tattoo. This act was taken up by Iskra Blagoeva who offered to continue the tattooed line on her own body as an act of trust and sharing between the two artists. More invitations followed and in 2023, the artists gathered nineteen of the participants together (many of whom didn’t know each other) with the goal of assembling their bodies into a continuous line. Without any scenography and dispensing of chronology, “the contact between these bodies was always different - sometimes the touch was gentle and the line adjusted itself, sometimes the assembly of this line required pressure, force, manipulation of the foreign body bordering on aggression” \nEvery S.I.S. has a line tatooed on her body- the shape, size, and location of this line is a personal choice of each woman Every S.I.S. promis before being tattooed not to stop the line and to pass it on to woman(s) chosen by her. There is no time limit or limit on passing on the line.

In her artistic research, she seeks the connections between social phenomena such as alchemy, myths and rituals, and specifically, how they are intertwined within the collective subconscious and the human condition. The link between millennia-long traditions and contemporary times is at the core of Slava’s work, analysed through psychology, anthropology, ethnography and more. Many of her projects are related to topics like human rights, war conflicts and current political issues. Slava George is the recipient of the 2025 BAZA Award for young contemporary artists in Bulgaria.\n\nHer solo exhibitions include: Let your hair down at +359 Gallery, Sofia, Bulgaria (2024) and Woman, Life, Freedom at One+ Gallery, Sofia, Bulgaria (2022).

The works examine the body as a site where social expectations, sexuality, power, and history are continuously negotiated.

Her  practice encompasses video, performance, music, installation and sculpture. Taking inspiration from pop culture, showbiz, traditional folk heritage and mythology she repeatedly stages herself as a culturally migrational diva. In her performative gestures and musical alter egos, Georgieva negotiates identity as a site of mimicry and transformation — a space where pop and folk traditions collide and synthesise new meanings. Situated between the legacies of post-socialist memory and Western art discourse, her practice stages hybrid encounters where national and personal narratives are continuously translated. Through improvisation and self-staging, she examines how cultural identity is configured, interrogating media conventions, commercial gender roles and where they collide with ideas of nationhood.\nRecent shows include the touring exhibition ‘Evrovizion’ in Varna & Sofia and a public commission at Skanstull Metro Station Stockholm. Other solo projects include Cubitt, London; Sörmlands Museum, Nyköping and Swimming Pool Projects, Sofia. She has performed internationally at Palais de Tokyo, Paris  MDT Stockholm, Royal Academy, arebyte and Block Universe all in London. Her films have been broadcast on Channel 4 UK and screened in MOCA, Cleveland Ohio, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, FRAC Occitane, Kunsthalle Lucerne amongst many others.

At that time, the show was largely shaped by the perspective of artists coming from the Mediterranean context. As part of the presentation of the project at BUNA, a collaboration between PUNTA Gallery and Spiaggia Libera, seven Bulgarian artists were also invited - Veronika Desova, Gery Georgieva, Slava George, Nikola Grozdanov, Vikenti Komitski, Ivan Moudov, and Aaron Roth, who were to present their own interpretations of the topic. In the course of their artistic research, both communalities and some peculiarities of the Black Sea region came to the surface. Questions such as female identity and its millennia-long formation, the dualistic powers women possess, unleashing those powers by taking control of their own narrative, body, and sexuality - those appear to be reoccurring topics for the modern siren. On the other hand, local contemporary maritime folklore is influenced by complex geopolitical processes and tensions, related to the construction of narratives, including such concerning national identity. Thus, questions of historicity, fabricating and rewriting history also prove to be universal, even through the prism of sea and mermaids. The ongoing dialogue between the works of Bulgarian and French artists through their resemblances and differences is at the heart of this exhibition.Through this conversation, we hope to outline the intricate map of a universal human experience, in which we can decipher the aspirations and anxieties of the present, but also the love and poetry in our everyday life, manifested here through the figure of the siren. This symbolism is not surprising—the female body, even the mythological one, has always been a vessel for channeling political and social phenomena. And so, the exhibition returns to its starting point—the body and its renegotiation as a condition for freedom.","Instagram: @sachagdj","https:\u002F\u002Fartviewer.org\u002Fcurator\u002Fsacha-guedj-cohen\u002F",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":27,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":27,"pressText":27,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":30,"publishedAt":31,"locale":32},{"id":2124,"documentId":2150,"name":2141,"slug":2151,"country":52,"biography":2152,"website":2146,"createdAt":2153,"updatedAt":2153,"publishedAt":2154,"locale":32,"portraitCredit":27,"instagram":27,"email":27,"portrait":27},"uugvau987x811lsloffbnu8p","sacha-guedj-cohen-buna-2025","Sacha Guedj Cohen is an independent curator, writer, and art historian based in Paris.

In life, as in this work, the princess and the witch are not so different -\nthey can become versions of one another, shaped by circumstance, emotion, and\nperception. The princess, here, holds a knife - a gesture of agency and defiance. The\nwitch offers an apple - a symbol of both gift and deceit. They stand in\nconfrontation, but not in caricature.

Originally staged in the Upper Silesian coal-mining town of Knurów, the revue presented a story of ecological salvation. This project exhumes the original’s profound central contradiction: it was an ecological fable entirely funded and promoted by the local coal mine, a state-controlled entity. The performance, once applauded by the highest officials of socialist Poland, has since vanished from cultural memory, leaving behind an ideological ghost.\n\nMy work does not simply re-stage this historical curiosity but repoliticizes it, using the revue as a lens to investigate the entanglement of state power, national identity, and fossil fuel dependency, both in the late-socialist 1980s and in contemporary Poland. The project dismantles the naive optimism of the original by reframing it as a speculative, fictionalized tale with two narrators: one human, and one non-human—the water itself. Adopting the uncanny, soothing aesthetic of an old-school television bedtime story, the work creates a dialogue between the past and the present, the human and the non-human, the archival and the imagined.\n\nFilmed on location at the edge of the Turów lignite mine—a current site of intense political and environmental conflict between Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany—the installation places the historical narrative directly into a contemporary landscape of crisis. The original synth-pop songs from the 1986 revue are merged with new, unsettling soundscapes and a contemporary narrative. This sonic tapestry is juxtaposed with archival footage and recent quotes from Polish President Andrzej Duda, who has championed coal as a \"strategic resource\" essential to national identity.\n\nUltimately, Cosmic Grass uses speculative fabulation and artistic reconstruction as a method of inquiry. It questions how state-sponsored narratives are produced and how they decay, leaving behind complicated legacies. The work moves beyond nostalgia to explore how artistic practice can resist extractivist politics, challenge the weaponization of cultural memory, and reimagine collective agency in spaces defined by systemic failure.
