Unseen Works from the Collection of Varna Gallery, 2025 AI-assisted interventions on reproductions from the Varna City Art Gallery collection
ArtistsThe project is a critical intervention into the Varna City Gallery’s collection, where familiar artworks are subtly manipulated using AI. In this project for BUNA 3, Filip Boyadjiev explores how official memory, cultural heritage, and national identity are often fabricated, distorted, or manipulated, becoming ghosts that shape our present. The project engages with unresolved histories, pseudo-traditions, and institutional amnesia, offering a critical yet accessible reflection on the specters that linger beneath seemingly familiar images. Through irony and digital intervention, he aims to expose the uneasy relationship between past and present, and invite viewers into a collective reckoning with what we choose to remember or forget.
