"Impact Factors 2: If you dare." is a continuation of the international photo and video exhibition previously presented earlier this year at Sofia's HOSTGALLERY. In their collaborative project originally titled "Impact Factors: If Shooting Matters.", American curator Raul Zamudio and Ivaylo Hristov (Bulgaria) emphasize the significance of the act of capturing images in our contemporary context and total digital transformation. Raul Zamudio defines the group exhibition as " The Incisive Moment in Four Acts: Sasha Kurmaz, Svilen Nachev, Mihail Novakov, and Siyana Shishkova" with an exceptionally curious reference to Henri Cartier-Bresson's "The Decisive Moment." Regarding the participants' works, Zamudio shares that "they are constantly expanding their aesthetic and conceptual purview, and thus will always distinguish themselves and remain perpetually, and incisively…of the moment".
