Working with photographic archives, vernacular images, material culture, and memory, she examines how images, objects, and fragments persist, circulate, and acquire new meanings across time. Her principle, “No one left behind,” directs attention toward lives, histories, objects, and forms of everyday knowledge that remain overlooked, displaced, or outside dominant narratives.\nPhotographic archives and photographic processes are central points of departure in her practice. She approaches them as active sites of circulation, transformation, absence, and reactivation rather than as fixed repositories of the past. Her work moves between photo-object, installation, archival intervention, writing, and experimental forms, with a particular interest in the social life of images - how images move through families, collections, institutions, places, and historical contexts, and how their meanings shift in the process. An archaeological attention to layers, traces, residues, and absences runs through long-term projects such as STRATA \u002F B (2014–2020) and the decade-long Life at Ground Level.\nIrian studied Sociology at the Universities of Trento and Regensburg, Visual Anthropology in Bucharest and Perugia, and holds a PhD in Visual Arts from UNARTE Bucharest. This interdisciplinary formation underpins a practice in which artistic research, ethnographic inquiry, archival work, and material experimentation continuously intersect.\nHer recent projects move through family archives, domestic space, migration, ecological loss, and photographic afterlives. #mili-eu: Ileana, Mr. B’s Grandmother (2022–2026) works with family photographs and domestic objects to bring an overlooked female history back into view. The At Home Trilogy (2024–2026) -The Pantry, In the Kitchen, and The Oracle Room -approaches domestic space as an archive of care, labour, memory, absence, and loss. The Titans (2025–2026) connects personal memory with the disappearance of a familiar urban landscape and the experience of solastalgia. In The Social Life of Images \u002F Migration and Memory (2025–2026), photographs and personal documents traverse borders, generations, and political ruptures, examining how presence can endure through fragments and acts of reframing. The Social Life of Images: Summer Exchange (2025) turns to tourism and informal trade on Romania’s Black Sea coast during socialism, combining archival and family photographs in transparent, rotatable photo-objects with sand and water to explore how memory is reshaped through circulation, exchange, movement, and repeated acts of looking.\nAlongside her visual and research practice, Irian develops poetic and material forms of knowledge production. She is the author of the photobook STRATA \u002F B and of an experimental poetry trilogy, also published on the Versopolis platform, which explores technological poetry, treating digital language as archival material and artistic method.\nOver the past decade, her work has been presented in more than 50 exhibitions across Europe. Recent presentations include Chester Photo Festival, BUNA International Contemporary Art Festival, the Archaeology of Photography Foundation (FAF) in Warsaw, and PHOTOMINO Europe at FREELENS Gallery during the 2026 Triennial of Photography Hamburg. She is a member of the Romanian Fine Arts Union (UAP) and FUTURES Photography.\nHer scholarly research has appeared in Anthropology of East Europe Review, History of Communism in Europe, Studies and History Articles, and Revelar. She is also the author of Photographic Collections and Archives Today (2022) and The Production of Space and the Social Life of Artworks on the Streets (2024).","omnia.photo","2026-09-23T19:03:42.550Z","2026-09-23T19:03:42.632Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fac_irian",{"id":181,"documentId":182,"category":183,"displayOrder":39,"displayName":184,"createdAt":185,"updatedAt":186,"publishedAt":187,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":183,"artworkLabel":188,"artworkDescription":189,"personalLinks":28,"biographySources":28,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":28,"entryLabel":190,"edition":191,"projectImages":28,"participant":192},420,"dl5tgci3hx597g1h1qvs4rga","curator","Andreya Gandeva","2026-09-23T19:09:55.020Z","2026-09-23T19:09:55.049Z","2026-09-23T19:09:55.069Z","DISTANCE, 2026, mixed media installation\n196 x 80 x 75 cm\n\nINORI, 2026, video\n13:21 min.","DISTANCE and INORI form a thematic diptych that reveals a world of inner resilience and consistent drive towards the other.

He trained in theatre directing and acting (National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts, Sofia), jazz piano (Vienna Konservatorium) and vocational training in computer programming (LearningTree, London).\n\nSince 2004 he has been developing performative instruments and generative compositions in which the artistic concept determines the technology, the technology shapes the material and the material defines the interaction. Objects, bodies, landscapes and data serve as compositional input, and their physical properties are translated into sound through custom-built technologie. By embedding artistic intent directly into the technological system, he seeks to uncover hidden processes and entanglements, letting the artwork unfold here and now.\n\nA recurring method in his practice is the translation of non-musical structures, such as geographic data, news databases, biological signals or the contours of everyday objects, into sound through rigorous, self-imposed compositional constraints. In Pandemic Sound Map (2020), COVID-19 case data from 186 countries drove a corresponding number of virtual strings; in Fragile Perspectives (2021\u002F22), 3D glass objects derived from clustered news articles were digitally scanned to excite tuned resonators. This approach treats data not as illustration but as material, much as a sculptor treats stone, where the constraints of the source generate musical form rather than merely representing information.\n\nRecent works include the interactive sound installation Polit-Pong (2026); The Evasive Choir (2021), a 30-channel fixed-media installation drawing on processed political speech, shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art – Sofia and Kunsthaus Graz and acquired for the contemporary collection of the National Gallery of Bulgaria; Until the Last Drop: Trio (2022), a sculptural sound installation using water, IV systems and metal vessels, shown at Lothringer 13 Halle, Munich, and Gallery +359, Sofia; and The Distance Between Us Is Music (2023), an interactive 8-channel sound installation driven by computer vision, presented at Palatul Ștefania, Timișoara. His 5-channel installation Fragile Perspectives was named ISEA Artwork Laureate (Paris, 2023) and was nominated for the NTU Global Digital Arts Prize (Singapore, 2022).\n\nHe also creates audio-visual performances, among them ARTIKULAT (2023), commissioned by NAMES Ensemble Salzburg; 10VE (2014), for two amplified bodies and an audience under surveillance (Content Award Vienna 2016); and SOMAPHONY (2016). They use self-designed and self-built performance systems for biosensors, generative sound and visuals, and have been presented at the Ars Electronica Center Linz, the ACT Festival in Gwangju, South Korea, and Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Frankfurt.\n\nHe is a Research Fellow at the Center for Human-Computer Interaction, University of Salzburg, and a guest lecturer in Sound Art at the National Academy of Arts, Sofia. He co-founded the DALAB Foundation and advises the DA Fest biennial for digital arts. In 2026 he received the Jahresstipendium für Medienkunst of the Land Salzburg. Previous fellowships include Akademie Schloss Solitude (2016–17), a WimmelResearch residency at the Bosch Research Center (2018) and STEIM, Amsterdam (2013).

He explores various mediums such as glass or bronze, and transcends conventional techniques by integrating embroidery into three-dimensional structures, whether figurative or abstract. This innovative approach gives rise to pieces in which the thread, traditionally associated with the surface, extends and rises, creating organic and dynamic forms.\n\nWhy do I use embroidery as a means of artistic expression?\n\nI've always been fascinated by needlework, whether it's lace, pearl or gold embroidery. The first piece I embroidered was a heart in glass beads on a square of silk satin.\n\nThis experience immediately delighted me, and I really enjoyed bringing this object to life, trying to make the motif emerge, to compose with colors, to seek to tame volume, to struggle with the resistance of materials. I then threw myself frantically into the production of a series of embroidered hearts, each borrowing from a different period of art history.\n\nAs a costume designer, I've used embroidery extensively, notably for corset ornamentation, but also when creating painted canvases for theater sets, seeking to imitate the movements of embroidered lines on very large formats.\n\nI had the great good fortune to be a student of Anne-Françoise Benhamou - playwright, Florence Delay - writer and academician, Véronique Simon - costume designer, and a close friend of costume designer Jacques Schmidt, the greatest in my eyes. Virginia Woolf, Louise Bourgeois, Louise Labbé and Christian Dior are among my greatest inspirations. Thanks to them, I've found an artistic path that combines extreme rigor, the desire to eliminate the unnecessary and the need for meaning.\n\nIn this way, I pursue a fairly personal line of work, using different techniques demanded by the works themselves. Experimenting, seeking to create complex pieces - whether realistic or imaginary - seeking simplification and sometimes opening a space towards abstraction.\n\nIt's work that's at once meditative, requiring withdrawal from the world, and nourished by the impact of the outside world. The physical intensity - sometimes the pain - produced by the engagement of the body, implies a number of pauses that I like to be contemplative, like phases of aggregation, which stretch out the time of creation.\n\nThe thread sums up my approach to this medium. Connecting things, marking distances from one point to another, and in this way building paths - symbolic, utilitarian, amorous - perhaps recreating a lost link ?\n\nIn Bulgaria, Axel Morel works with different galleries in Europe, and his art works are collected in prestigious collection in Bulgaria, China, France, USA, Belgium… He participates in several group show as : \"\"MBMC my body my choice \"\" Pride month Sofia - 2025, \"\"Power pussy\"\" in SEW 8 - 2025, \"\"Horizonta\"\" Non Sofia gallery - 2026, In form Doza gallery - 2026, solo shows  as : \"\"Vestiges\"\" Triangular tower gallery - 2024, \"\"Cosmos\"\" Atelier 28 gallery - 2025, 4Hands I mirror #1 Little Bird Place gallery 2026, and participates at the Sofia Art Fair since 2025 with Atelier 28 and Little Bird Place.\n","www.axelmorel.art","2026-09-23T19:23:07.225Z","2026-09-23T19:28:45.039Z","2026-09-23T19:28:45.095Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Faxelmorelart",{"id":247,"documentId":248,"category":38,"displayOrder":39,"displayName":249,"createdAt":250,"updatedAt":251,"publishedAt":252,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":253,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":254,"artworkDescription":255,"personalLinks":28,"biographySources":28,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":28,"entryLabel":256,"edition":257,"projectImages":28,"participant":258},426,"wyyao7415emrj8hz4w7ryran","Armando Lulaj","2026-09-23T19:33:16.955Z","2026-09-23T19:33:16.970Z","2026-09-23T19:33:16.984Z","DebatikCenter of Contemporary Art  ","EXTREME DISPLAY\nMixed-media installation comprising two works\n\nWorks: \nRadio Desertion, 2023–2030\nSound installation \nMass Chocks, 2026\nHappening; site-specific installation; performative intervention; \nPublic bus, mass stones","EXTREME DISPLAY is a public bus.

My intention was to capture the emotions of people who seemed to be saying goodbye to their club, rather than create a conventional documentary or a series of “perfect” photographs. What interested me was the nostalgic emotion between friends who had gathered to dance one last time in their club, sharing a sense of togetherness and solidarity — clubbers and staff alike.\n\nThe fact that all the photographs were taken on a single roll of black-and-white film is an essential part of the concept. There are exactly 26 frames — neither more nor less. They follow the natural progression of the night and, together, form a small visual narrative.\n\nFor me, the series also has another layer: it carries a strong sense of the House culture that the club helped establish during the first decade of the 2000s. The analogue film further preserves this atmosphere — the grain, the light, the imperfections and the spontaneity of the moment all become part of the story itself.\n\nFor this reason, I would like to present the series not simply as a selection of photographs connected by their subject, but as an independent exhibition, in which the 26 frames can be experienced as one complete visual narrative of a single party night in the atmosphere of Comics Club.\n\nI believe that, within the context of BUNA, this project could acquire an additional layer of meaning — as a meeting point between photography, cinema, Comics culture, and the visual memory of a generation.","Rumy Vladimirova — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":352,"documentId":353,"name":343,"slug":354,"country":53,"biography":355,"website":28,"createdAt":356,"updatedAt":357,"publishedAt":358,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":359,"email":28,"portrait":28},1764,"j5l4chk9nwclftfua1tntymt","rumy-vladimirova","I'm a photographer and  when I'm with my camera I see my shots in advanced like scene, color and arrangement!

He is currently a researcher within the ACTH unit at ENSBA Lyon.\n\nHis work examines the material and symbolic frameworks that organize our environments, not in order to offer a simple reading of them, but to reveal their tensions and contradictions. Through objects that he diverts or recomposes, he questions the logics of use, mechanisms of control, and implicit narratives that shape our everyday gestures. Each sculpture, each filmed sequence becomes a tool for displacement, a means of making visible what, in our spaces, presents itself as neutral but is in fact political.\n\nBy observing architectures of waiting, industrial infrastructures, or urban dispositifs, he brings to light the ways in which these systems guide our behaviours and organize our relationship to the world. His approach, informed by field research and collaboration with the social sciences, does not seek effect but understanding: understanding how an object acts, how a space imposes itself, how a fiction organizes reality. His works thus function as materialized hypotheses, possible scenarios that allow us to think about our environments differently. They open spaces for discussion and projection, where each person can reconsider what had seemed self-evident. In this displacement, his work reminds us that forms are never innocent and that questioning them always means questioning, in turn, the structures that surround us.","https:\u002F\u002Fsebastienschnyder.ch\u002F","2026-09-24T12:06:25.955Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.507Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fsebastien_schnyder\u002F",{"id":452,"documentId":453,"category":38,"displayOrder":417,"displayName":454,"createdAt":455,"updatedAt":455,"publishedAt":456,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":457,"artworkDescription":458,"personalLinks":459,"biographySources":460,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":461,"entryLabel":462,"edition":463,"projectImages":28,"participant":464},764,"bxp82ngj1s6156o5vgoiupk9","Dimitar Solakov","2026-09-24T12:06:44.315Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.543Z","A Few Degrees From Release 2023, door, church bell hammer solenoid, Arduino, custom software, power supply, mounting hardware, wiring, dimensions variable","A Few Degrees From Release transforms an ordinary exhibition space into a place of anticipation.

He graduated in Photography from New Bulgarian University.\nHis work examines the relationships between humans and their surroundings and the ways in which we understand, transform, and construct the world around us. Moving between nature and urbanisation, personal experience and collective histories, Solakov often questions humanity’s position at the centre of these relationships and the responsibility that comes with its capacity to alter the environment.\nClimate change and possible futures for humanity form an important strand of his practice. Rather than treating the future as a distant or purely speculative space, he uses it as a way of looking back at the present—examining contemporary choices, anxieties, contradictions, and failures through their possible consequences. Other works revisit the past, questioning how history, cultural heritage, and collective memory are reconstructed and reinterpreted in the present. His approach shifts between deeply personal perspectives and deliberately distanced or speculative positions.\nSolakov has presented his work internationally, including at the 21st Biennale of Sydney, Cosmopolis #2 at Centre Pompidou, the Art Encounters Biennial, the Gabrovo Biennial, Kunsthalle Bega, and other institutional and independent contexts.","2026-09-24T12:06:26.182Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.524Z",{"id":472,"documentId":473,"category":38,"displayOrder":438,"displayName":474,"createdAt":475,"updatedAt":476,"publishedAt":477,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":478,"artworkLabel":188,"artworkDescription":479,"personalLinks":480,"biographySources":481,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":482,"entryLabel":483,"edition":484,"projectImages":28,"participant":485},1068,"vtkjfxu13zwt3xc62tzewu4s","Kyril Buhowski","2026-09-24T12:06:44.802Z","2026-09-30T12:11:58.563Z","2026-09-30T12:11:58.601Z","curator: Andreya Gandeva","Innate stubbornness takes many forms. It resides within us, sometimes turbulent and bubbling, at other times quiet and concealed. There are moments when we think it has hidden somewhere, that it has disappeared altogether. Yet somehow it keeps returning, springing from new places and taking on new forms. Sometimes these are tender memories, evoking a sea breeze, a sensual encounter, or a utopian moment filled with profound emotion. At other times, it manifests as a ceaseless effort that seems never to stop trembling, reminding us of everything beyond ourselves.\n\nKyril Buhowski looks closely at this dynamic, which intertwines a quiet but persistent struggle with a poetic sense of care, attentiveness, and tenderness. Within the intimacy of a room, he assembles a thematic triptych comprising the installation DISTANCE, the video work INORI, and an object—an old postcard.\n\nDISTANCE, created specifically for the fourth edition of BUNA, is an installation of two “embracing” beds. The space between them reveals a distance that echoes the gesture of an embrace. A gesture that lasts only briefly, yet one the body knows well. A gesture that seeks connection but leaves an emptiness behind. It is within this emptiness that the tension between closeness and absence emerges. Distance here is more than physical. It becomes longing, a place where presence continues to exist even when the other person is absent.\n\nThe video work INORI serves as a kind of window into this space. The images change while a faint light flickers at their centre. It is the same stubbornness in another form—a small core that does not disappear, even as everything around it changes. Within this persistence lies hope: a quiet gesture directed towards something beyond itself.\n\nThe old postcard carries another form of presence—that of a past that seems to exist outside time and space. It is a trace of something that has already happened but continues to carry its memory. Of a feeling that, like nostalgia, saddens us through its passing and absence, yet offers a form of salvation by bringing us meaningful moments that have already taken place.\n\nThe three works meet in the liminal space between touch and distance, past and present, absence and presence. They speak of a stubbornness that is the capacity to remain, to remember, and to care.","Instagram: @kyrilbuhowski\nWebsite: www.kyrilbuhowski.com","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 6",6,"Kyril Buhowski — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":486,"documentId":487,"name":474,"slug":488,"country":53,"biography":489,"website":490,"createdAt":491,"updatedAt":491,"publishedAt":492,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":493,"email":28,"portrait":28},1477,"gbvog2zzg3yjafd2ufrkzr1d","kyril-buhowski-buna-2026","Kyril Buhowski is an artist and author who works in the areas of painting, video, installation, performance, and creative writing.

His practice is concerned with the relationship between the physical conditions of space and the social structures that operate through them. Rather than understanding architecture solely as a question of form, construction or representation, he investigates how spaces organize bodies, behaviour, access, interaction, memory, and relationships between people.\n\nHis work develops through speculative and experimental processes that combine physical models, material investigations, installation, VR environments, video, drawing and archival research. These methods allow him to work simultaneously with the tangible and intangible dimensions of architecture: its materials and structures, but also the institutional, political, cultural, and social systems embedded within them. He is particularly interested in situations where these systems become unstable, disappear or are contested, and in what such conditions reveal about the role architecture plays in everyday life.\n\nKiril often begins with existing architectural or urban conditions - buildings, infrastructures, public spaces, historical archives, or informal forms of inhabitation - and treats them not as fixed subjects but as evidence from which alternative possibilities can emerge. His work explores the tension between what a space was intended to do and how it is actually inhabited, between institutional structures and informal practices, and between collective memory and contemporary needs.\n\nMaterial experimentation is an important part of this process. Physical objects and architectural models are not simply representations of ideas but become ways of thinking through them. Materials are allowed to behave, deform, resist, or transform, producing forms that can reveal relationships that might remain abstract in conventional architectural drawings.\n\nAcross his practice, Kiril is interested in making visible the hidden scenarios contained within architecture and in proposing alternative ways of inhabiting and understanding space. His work ultimately treats architecture as a medium through which questions of memory, material, power, community, and social life can be negotiated.","2026-09-24T12:06:26.757Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.607Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fkirilkoko\u002F",{"id":516,"documentId":517,"category":38,"displayOrder":518,"displayName":519,"createdAt":520,"updatedAt":520,"publishedAt":521,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":522,"artworkDescription":523,"personalLinks":524,"biographySources":525,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":526,"entryLabel":527,"edition":528,"projectImages":28,"participant":529},778,"euiwcnhj8idlu8a69nh7qp70",7,"Yotaro Niwa","2026-09-24T12:06:46.589Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.637Z","Equilibrium, 2026, mixed media, dimension variable","This installation is a concept for an in-situ installation at the former Russian Consulate. The space is designed like a long corridor; one entire wall is made of glass and adjoins another room, while the other entire wall is also made of glass and faces the courtyard. Both spaces are visible from both the inside and the outside.\nThe iron grilles, recurring relief patterns, and wallpaper motifs that characterize the exterior and interior of this building serve as the motifs for this installation. This spatial project aims to emphasize, overlay, strip away, or create entirely new meanings for these motifs by fostering interactions between objects collected on-site and commonplace patterns brought in from different countries. These intricately interwoven relationships directly appeal to the perceptions of visitors walking through the space, subverting conventional interpretations. Furthermore, by associating the installation with the design aesthetics of concrete – specifically, Brutalist concrete architecture – which powerfully envelops its exterior, this work attempts a unique fusion and contrast. By exploring the “symbolism,” “authority,” and “aesthetics” inherent in patterns, this work aims to highlight the connections and complexities of meaning – as well as the absence of meaning and absurdity – through spatial experience.\nDuring this period of creation of the site spesipic installation, I will gradually connect, suspend, and combine the collected objects, physically sensing the balance and imbalance that emerge as the three-dimensional work\ntakes shape. This on-site creative process differs fundamentally from production that proceeds linearly toward a predetermined, harmonious conclusion. Rather, it is a process of seeking equilibrium by embracing and integrating the „noise“ that arises during creation – such as errors, setbacks, and failures.\nWhen the meaning of symbols is stripped away and their symbolism is eroded by overlapping layers, how can we reinterpret the relationships between things in the world through our own bodies? Through this work, by reconstructing fragments that embody diverse perspectives, symbols, and differing worldviews within this unique architectural space, I aim to challenge our preconceived notions, question established values and aesthetics, and lead the way toward new realizations and insights.","Instagram: @yotaroniwa\nFacebook: Yotaro Niwa\nWebsite: www.niwayotaro.com","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 9",9,"Yotaro Niwa — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":530,"documentId":531,"name":519,"slug":532,"country":533,"biography":534,"website":535,"createdAt":536,"updatedAt":536,"publishedAt":537,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":538,"email":28,"portrait":28},1487,"trwppkzj6jokeqq3ujyyga72","yotaro-niwa-buna-2026","Japan \u002FGermany","Yotaro Niwa (born 1973 on Awaji Island, Japan) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice has developed through sculpture, installation, drawing and collaborative forms.

By engaging their distinctive logics of sequencing, association, and generation, his works explore emerging ontologies of image-making in which images are no longer fixed representations of the past but dynamic processes of relation and transformation.

Simpson (born, lives, and works in Santa Clara Pueblo, NM) is a mixed-media artist whose work explores the impact, both emotional and existential, of living in the postmodern and postcolonial world. Growing up in a multigenerational, matrilineal lineage of artists working with clay, her practice is informed by indigenous tradition. \n\nAndrogynist clay figures adorned with found and manufactured objects are often at the base of Simpson’s practice. The pieces are ruminations on family, gender, marginality, as well as the effects these aspects have on the understanding of self. While the choice to work in clay is a link to familial relationships, the inherited nature of the material also adds to the concepts being presented. Just as individuals are shaped by memory and experience, objects made of clay become a record of the process that shaped them.

References to her childhood during the war in Bosnia appear through the structure of the joke rather than through testimony: family memory, mass graves and the unresolved disappearance of the dead are brought into proximity with the mechanics of set-up and punchline. \nIt implicates the audience in the distance between an event and its retelling, while exposing how quickly historical violence can become narrative, image or cultural shorthand. For those with a more immediate relationship to the region and its recent history, humour and grief remain present at the same time. Panić works precisely within that unstable overlap, using comedy not to soften the violence of the subject, but to complicate the position from which it is spoken about, heard and consumed.","Instagram: @panic_mila\nWebsite: https:\u002F\u002Fmilapanic.net\u002F","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 14",14,"Mila Panic — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":645,"documentId":646,"name":634,"slug":647,"country":648,"biography":649,"website":650,"createdAt":651,"updatedAt":651,"publishedAt":652,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":653,"email":28,"portrait":28},1511,"d5amikybg6c6r25hz1t12okr","mila-panic-buna-2026","Bosnia and Herzegovina \u002F Germany","Mila Panić (b. 1991) is a Bosnian-born artist and stand-up comedian.

His practice spans multiple media—film, photography, installation, and performance—and is distinguished by a particular sensitivity to the social, cultural, and political dynamics of Moldova and the broader region. Brăila transforms close observation of everyday reality into artistic forms that reveal paradoxes, tensions, and absurd situations often overlooked by global geopolitical discourse.\nThe artist has participated twice in documenta (2002 and 2017) and was invited to Manifesta 10 (2014), two of the most influential platforms in contemporary art worldwide. In 2003, Phaidon included him in CREAM 3, a selection of the 100 most relevant artists globally, further confirming the international significance of his work.\nBrăila has presented his work in numerous international exhibitions, both solo and group, in leading institutions such as Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin), Yvon Lambert (Paris), Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam), Tate Gallery (Londra), Renaissance Society (Chicago), Kiasma (Helsinki), MIT LVAC Boston, Kölnischer Kunstverein, Moderna Museet (Stockholm).\nHis film Definitively Unfinished received a major award at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2009), while the performance Ink Ribbon Fingerprints was awarded the Celeste Prize (2013). His concept for the Pavilion of the Republic of Moldova at Expo Milano 2015 was also nominated for the Idea-Tops Award for Best Public Architecture.\nThrough his work, the artist invites audiences into a space of cultural observation, where images, gestures, and seemingly minor details reveal complex phenomena related to identity, memory, mobility, and social transformation.\nPavel Brăila lives and works in Chișinău and Berlin.","2026-09-24T12:06:31.124Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.818Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fpashuzza\u002F",{"id":804,"documentId":805,"category":38,"displayOrder":791,"displayName":806,"createdAt":807,"updatedAt":807,"publishedAt":808,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":809,"artworkDescription":810,"personalLinks":811,"biographySources":812,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":813,"entryLabel":814,"edition":815,"projectImages":28,"participant":816},864,"iz0h5yquurkza2nperksg12l","Ivan Kostolov","2026-09-24T12:07:00.699Z","2026-09-24T07:36:31.849Z","Ivan Kostolov\nsolo exhibition\n\nAstronaut, 2022, 140x220 cm, eggtempera on canvas\nDisco Cloud, 2026, 140x200 cm, oil on canvas\nCathedral, 2026, 140x200 cm, eggtempera on canvas\nHitchhiker, 2015, 114x146 cm, eggtempera on canvas\nYou and your brother, 2012, 150x220 cm, oil on canvas\nGhosts, 2026, 114x146 cm, eggtempera on canvas\nStill life, 2024, 140x200 cm, oil on canvas\nUntitled, 2019, 24x32,3 cm, eggtempera on canvas\nUntitled, 2023, 30x40cm, eggtempera on canvas\nIsland, 2026, 30x40 cm, oil on canvas\nGarden, 2025, 30x40 cm, oil on canvas\nSmoke, 2025, 40x30 cm, oil on canvas\nthe thinker, 2023, 30x40 cm, oil on canvas","As part of Buna Vol. 4, Ivan Kostolov presents a solo exhibition at the Varna City Gallery from October 1 to 16, 2026.

Working with film, installation, and text, Isadora thinks of her works as portraits of people or other beings, and the places they inhabit (in real life, or fictionally): a mother and a daughter who changed continents in the early 2000s; Isadora's grandmother, who applauds the sunset every day from her balcony in Belo Horizonte; or birds that have migrated and adapted to a much colder climate than their own.\n\nShe conceives film not only as a succession of moving images, but also as a sculptural and spatial medium, an entity that goes beyond the screen into physical space. This research extends to an exploration of materiality itself: light sensitive and time-reactive elements that are not just tools for projection, but poetic carriers of memory, loss and transformation.\n\nHer work has been shown at Pivô, Galeria Galatea, the Museum of Brazilian Art (FAAP), among others, in Brazil; and at Frac Île-de-France, Air de Paris, Solar Galeria de Arte Cinemática, AWARE, Elsewhere - Paraguay Press, Espacio Temporal, le Palais des Beaux-Arts, among others, in Europe.

Drawing remains at the centre of his practice, extending into installation, photography, and text. His work explores how spaces are inhabited, remembered, and shared, often informed by personal and collective histories, domestic environments, and the divided landscape of Nicosia.\n\nWorking primarily with charcoal and cotton canvas, alongside found objects, textiles, steel, photographs, and other materials, Ioannides approaches drawing as something that can move beyond the surface and into physical space. His installations often take their dimensions from existing architectures and engage directly with the body and its movement. Borders, walls, shelters, domestic spaces, and the ways architecture can simultaneously protect, divide, and restrict recur throughout his work.\n\nPersonal and family histories form another important point of departure. Photographs, objects, materials, memories, and forms of knowledge passed between generations become ways of exploring how personal histories intersect with the broader histories of the places he encounters and works within. Recent projects have also involved collaborations with members of his family and materials connected to Cyprus, including charcoal collected from burned forests on the island.\n\nIoannides studied at Villa Arson in Nice, graduating with an MFA in 2022. His work has been presented, among others, at NiMAC (Nicosia), Zilberman (Berlin), AOA;87 (Berlin), Villa Arson (Nice), and POSTA Space (Sofia).

Nothing is invented; the violence lies in the rearrangement of the all too familiar. Rather than positioning critique outside the art system, the work treats complicity, desire, resentment, care and exclusion as forces generated from within it. What appears as shared language gradually reveals the rivalries, dependencies and small differences that structure the cultural field. These pressures condense into an alien cultural device: part psychic apparatus, part surveillance machine, part diseased interface.\n\nThe work emerges from the position of someone entangled in this system while attempting to observe its interpersonal dramas from a distance. That distance inevitably collapses. Private resentment, attachment and the desire for recognition bleed into the public sphere, acquiring a machinic form of their own. Critique, gatekeeping, exclusion and care return as strangely invasive forces, turning the apparatus into a materialised nervous system for a community held together as much by antagonism as by affinity.","Instagram: @avoid.nd\nFacebook: @av0id.nd\nWebsite: https:\u002F\u002Fnewdegeneration.xyz\u002F","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 30",30,"Nikola Stoyanov — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":910,"documentId":911,"name":899,"slug":912,"country":53,"biography":913,"website":914,"createdAt":915,"updatedAt":915,"publishedAt":916,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":917,"email":28,"portrait":28},1589,"ahalm3bnpwmvncspyqgy2yz0","nikola-stoyanov-buna-2026","Nikola Stoyanov (b. 1994, Varna) is a Bulgarian visual artist, theorist, and translator living and working in Sofia.

His conceptual focus frequently centers on anti-war statements, peace, and the systemic impacts of gun violence.\n\nZlatev's practice is defined by a unique synthesis of material and technology. He pairs rigorous, traditional craftsmanship—working across glass, metal, wood, and stone—with interactive electronics and microprocessors, creating dynamic pieces that physically engage the viewer.\n\nAn internationally recognized artist, Zlatev has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Notable solo exhibitions include Peace By Peace at Structura Gallery (Sofia), Trade Beads at TechShop Gallery (San Francisco), and Crossroads at 1Opera Gallery (Naples). His work has also been featured in institutional group exhibitions, such as Hunger 2.0 at the National Museum of Military History (Sofia), Up in Arms at Kunstraum Kreuzberg\u002FBethanien (Berlin), and Art of Peace at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco).\n\nZlatev’s practice has been supported by several distinguished awards and international residencies. He was named the Sculpture & Installation Winner at the 7th International Arte Laguna Prize in Venice, won a glassmaking residency at the Abate Zanetti Glass School in Murano, Italy and has been a resident artist at TechShop San Francisco.

Aiming to explore the relations of power and the mechanisms of othering within and beyond the far ends of this dialectic, Center for Peripheries operates through interventions themed around different notions of everyday life, expanding them into analyses of wider political contexts. Amongst other exhibitions and projects, Center for Peripheries has recently exhibited at Ravnikar Gallery Ljubljana, Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt, and Neue Galerie, Innsbruck. Currently, Center for Peripheries is a curating a group exhibition at Kunsthalle Exnergasse in Vienna. \n\nAlin Bosnoyan is an Argentinian visual artist born with Armenian heritage. Her practice is concept-driven and operates between spatial installations, object design, and pop and advertising phenomena. Her work explores ways to unravel complexity through triviality.

Based between London and Sofia, her practice examines political violence, trauma and memory in post-communist Bulgaria. Working across photography, moving image, sound, archival material, text and installation, she draws on long-term fieldwork, oral histories and sustained collaboration with survivors of state violence and their families. Her research considers the relationship between official archives, institutionalised forgetting and vernacular forms of remembrance, while developing collaborative and counter-archival approaches to complex and contested histories.\nShe is one-third of the artistic collective behind The Neighbours, a multimedia installation based on more than forty interviews with survivors of Bulgaria’s socialist-era camps and prisons. The project represented Bulgaria at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024.\nButseva received the BAZA Award for Contemporary Art in 2022 and has held fellowships at Akademie Schloss Solitude and Residency Unlimited, New York. She is currently an artist in residence at the Centre for Culture and the Mind at the University of Copenhagen. Her writing includes the article “Vernacular Memorial Museums: Memory, Trauma and Healing in Post-Communist Bulgaria,” published in Museums & Social Issues.\n\nКрасимира Буцева е визуална артистка, изследователка и преподавателка по фотография в London College of Communication. Живее и работи между Лондон и София, а практиката ѝ изследва политическото насилие, травмата и паметта в посткомунистическа България. Работи с фотография, видео, звук, архивни материали, текст и инсталация, като практиката ѝ се опира на дългогодишна теренна работа, устни истории и сътрудничество с общността от оцелелите от политическо насилие и техните семейства. Изследванията ѝ разглеждат връзката между официалните архиви, институционализираното забравяне и формите на памет на общности, като същевременно развиват съвместни контра-архивни подходи към сложни и фрагментирани истории.\nТя е една от тримата автори на „Съседите“ — мултимедийна инсталация, основана на повече от четиридесет интервюта с хора, изпратени в лагери и затвори в социалистическа България.

Typical hand-written slogans from protests and demonstrations are transformed into large format commercial signs. The impulse to communicate, to be seen and heard is a deep human need, and one to which Durant’s lightbox signs point.\n\nThe signs are commercially produced outdoor illuminated display units. They are of the type found on the sides of small, local businesses such as convenience stores, restaurants, liquor stores and auto repair shops. They are so ubiquitous and unremarkable as to be almost invisible in the vernacular landscape. The early signs were produced in collaboration with master commercial sign maker David Burgess in South Los Angeles, Durant now employs local companies to fabricate the works in the places where they are exhibited.\n\nThe slogans and texts are sourced from photographs of demonstrations, marches, street graffiti and other events. When Durant started the project the focus was mainly on events in the 1960s and ’70s in the U.S.. The series has since expanded in scope, reaching further back historically up to current events with examples from around the world and languages other than English.\n\nThe criterion for selecting the slogans is both simple and specific. The photo should contain an image of a handmade sign and the message on the sign should be general in nature. The slogan should not refer to any specific event, cause, person or time, in other words, text that could have more than one meaning depending on the context or time in which they are seen. Through this transformation the hand-written slogans appear to become timelessness and placeless, trans-historical and trans-locational. This decontextualizing effect allows viewers to make new connections with the texts. The event to which the slogan was originally addressed ceases to be the focus and we can concentrate on the words, the message and the visual effects of the hand lettering. Human presence, imagination and agency comes to the foreground.","Instagram: @studiosamdurant\nWebsite: www.samdurant.net","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 45",45,"Sam Durant — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":1198,"documentId":1199,"name":1187,"slug":1200,"country":1201,"biography":1202,"website":1203,"createdAt":1204,"updatedAt":1204,"publishedAt":1205,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1206,"email":28,"portrait":28},1645,"ing1inps4n4h6w61s1ijhhoz","sam-durant-buna-2026","USA \u002F Germany","Sam Durant is a North American artist whose interdisciplinary work engages a variety of social, political, and cultural issues.  Growing up near Boston, MA in the 1970’s he experienced the radical pedagogy of A.S. Neill, Maria Montessori, John Holt, anti-war demonstrations and the desegregation of the public school system.  Exposure to an educational culture emphasising democratic ideals, racial equality and social justice created the foundation for Durant’s artistic perspective.  Often taking up forgotten events from the past, his works make connections with present and ongoing social and cultural issues.  Durant’s interest in monuments and memorials began with Proposal for Monument at Altamont Raceway (1999), continued notably with Proposal for White and Indian Dead Monument Transpositions (2005) that re-contextualises memorials to victims of the conquest of North America, and  Proposal for Public Fountain (2015), a marble work depicting an anarchist statue being blasted by a police water canon.  Earlier works have excavated subjects as diverse as modernism’s repressive energy, the death drive beneath 1960’s-70’s pop music and artist Robert Smithson’s theories of entropy.  More recent work has encompassed Italian anarchism, cartographic histories of capitalism, gestures of everyday refusal and a decolonizing realignment of Surrealism through incorporating artists and writers from the former French colonial world, like Aimee Cesar and Joyce Mansour.  \n\nDurant’s methodology is research based but with an emphasis on social engagement, often working with communities and groups in collaborative and performative formations.  He has done major participatory public art projects, Labyrinth (2015) in Philadelphia which addressed mass incarceration and The Meeting House (2016) in Concord, MA that took up the subject of race in colonial and contemporary New England.  His most recent public work Untitled (drone) was the second commission for the High Line Plinth in New York.  It raised the issues of drone warfare and surveillance in American society.  In recent years Durant has done several projects about the nonaligned movement - begun in 1961- an unfulfilled idea that holds potential for the polarised present and need for global cooperation to deal with challenges like climate change and migration.  The work Proposal for Nonaligned Monuments, Free Movement (2020) has been shown in Denmark and Belgium and Proposals for Monuments to the Nonaligned Collection, Petrovic Park, Podgorica (2024) shown in Podgorica, Montenegro and Ljubjana, Slovenia and will include a curated selection from the collection of the Museum of Nonaligned Art.\n\nIn 2007 Durant compiled and edited the monograph, Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas (Rizzoli Intl.) and curated the exhibition of the same name at MOCA, Los Angeles and the New Museum, New York.  Durant’s interviews and writing have been featured in publications like Mousse, Artforum and Flash Art, he has contributed catalog essays to Marcos Ramirez ERRE (Instituto Nacional de Belles Artes, Mexico D.F. 2011), Siah Armajani: Follow the Line (Walker Art Center, MN. 2018) and Hans Haacke: All Connected (New Museum, NY 2019). From 2005 to 2010 he was a member of the collective Transforma Projects, a grassroots cultural re-building initiative in New Orleans.  In 2012\u002F13 Durant was an artist in residence at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles where he collaborated with the education department to produce a discursive social media project called What #is a museum? .  Durant’s work has been included in numerous international exhibitions including Documenta 13, the Yokohama Triennial, the Venice, Sydney, Busan, Liverpool, Panama, and the Whitney Biennials.  His work can be found in many public collections including Walker Art Center, Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, Paris, France, UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA, Project Row Houses, Houston, TX, Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent, Belgium, Tate Modern, London, England.  Durant is based in Berlin and is a Professor at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.samdurant.net\u002F","2026-09-24T12:06:36.124Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.110Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fstudiosamdurant\u002F",{"id":1208,"documentId":1209,"category":38,"displayOrder":1194,"displayName":1210,"createdAt":1211,"updatedAt":1211,"publishedAt":1212,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":1213,"curatorOrTeam":1214,"artworkLabel":1215,"artworkDescription":1216,"personalLinks":1217,"biographySources":1218,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":1219,"entryLabel":1220,"edition":1221,"projectImages":28,"participant":1222},948,"deeefwevykm3p6jz1wgrmthf","Lana Stojićević","2026-09-24T12:07:14.480Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.141Z","Gallery representation: Manuš Gallery, Split https:\u002F\u002Fgalerijamanus.com\u002F ig@galerijamanus","Production: Kula Gallery, Split https:\u002F\u002Fkula-split.com\u002F ig@kulacontemporary\nTechnical associates: Glorija Lizde, Goran Radošević","The Emperor’s Dreamhouse\n2024\nVariable dimensions\nAcca Foam, Forex, aluminum frames, textile, wood, open source 3D models","Throughout the centuries, Diocletian’s Palace in Split has been adapted to the various everyday needs of its inhabitants.

The work unfolds as a vocal performance extending across the public space, shaped each time by the location, shared attention and resonance of the moment.","Instagram: @dorotmich @otuchacollective","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 49",49,"Dorota Michalak (OTUCHA COLLECTIVE) — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":1247,"documentId":1248,"name":1249,"slug":1250,"country":401,"biography":1251,"website":28,"createdAt":1252,"updatedAt":1253,"publishedAt":1254,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1255,"email":28,"portrait":28},1786,"xnfbcol2zes80wcqxrb9yepq","Dorota Michalak (OTUCHA COLLECTIVE)","dorota-michalak-buna-2026","Otucha is a Polish word for an act of care between living beings - to give someone otucha is to lift their spirits and surround them with comfort and encouragement.\n\nOtucha Collective is a Berlin-based vocal ensemble whose work explores the phenomenon of human voice and collective singing - their empowering, transformative and community-building qualities.\n\nThe collective's practice centres on the rural singing traditions of so-called Eastern Europe - historically rooted in community care and emotional expression - extended through somatic practice, deep listening, and experimental voice work.

After graduating from the Fine Arts bachelor programme at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2022), she developed a fluid practice that moves between painting, ceramics, metalwork, and site-specific installation. Building on the classical training she received at the National High School of Fine Arts \"Ilia Petrov\" in Sofia, Tsenkova has developed a visual language that brings together the organic qualities of clay and the contemporary aesthetics of metal constructions.\nGrowing up in a family of conservators and church fresco painters, she was introduced to religious art through direct experience. From an early age, she spent time on scaffolding in churches, mixing pigments, painting ornaments, and assisting in the preservation of sacred imagery and architectural decoration. This ongoing engagement with restoration practices continues to inform both her material choices and conceptual approach.\nIntuitive processes, the use of negative space, and the assembly of separate elements into larger entities are central to her methodology. Her works often emerge through an experimental dialogue between materials, where fragmentation, balance, and spatial relationships become tools for constructing meaning.\nDrawing inspiration from icons, idols, relics, and religious art, Tsenkova investigates how visual languages are transmitted, preserved, and transformed over time. She is particularly interested in the circulation of images and symbols, and in the ways cultural heritage is continually reinterpreted within contemporary society. Rather than approaching historical forms as fixed artefacts, she considers them living structures whose meanings shift according to context, perception, and use.\nThrough the encounter between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic approaches, her practice explores the relationship between preservation and transformation, questioning how inherited aesthetic systems continue to shape collective memory and contemporary ways of seeing. By bringing together materials and forms associated with different temporalities, Tsenkova creates works that reflect on the persistence of cultural narratives and the evolving relevance of historical imagery in the present.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.niyatsenkova.com\u002F","2026-09-24T12:06:37.838Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.228Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002F__niya__tsenkova__\u002F",{"id":1368,"documentId":1369,"category":38,"displayOrder":1333,"displayName":1370,"createdAt":1371,"updatedAt":1371,"publishedAt":1372,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":1373,"artworkDescription":1374,"personalLinks":1375,"biographySources":1376,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":1377,"entryLabel":1378,"edition":1379,"projectImages":28,"participant":1380},978,"cyrkm4196kp2md1n06kp7j9a","Oliver Musovik \u002F Bureau of Botanical Compliance","2026-09-24T12:07:19.383Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.246Z","Bureau of Botanical Compliance BoBC\n\nGreen Leaves, White Leaves\nSeries of digital photographs, 2025\n35 x 26 cm each\n\nBureau of Botanical Compliance\nMemorandum BBC\u002FINT\u002F034-0825: Marais Vegetal Compliance Survey — Summary Findings\nDocument, English and French version, 18.8.2025\n21 x 30 cm each\n\nBureau of Botanical Compliance\nNotice of Unauthorized Interpretive Framing\nDocument, 26.3.2026\n21 x 30 cm","In Paris, I encountered violation notices attached to spontaneous plants.

White window frames, aluminium and PVC, were particularly popular. They provided transparency, efficiency, hygiene, and industrial precision at an affordable price. Their modularity suited large-scale building and mass-housing systems. \n\nIt was once believed standardized construction could provide an ordered, improved form of collective life, but reality shows buildings seldom remain as planned. Over time, windows, balconies, roofing, and entrances become sites of adaptation. Frames are being replaced, doubled, extended, enclosed, insulated, repaired, or combined with shutters, colored glass, timber, PVC, blinds, and even found materials. A balcony becomes storage, a workshop, a winter garden, an extra room, or a buffer against the weather. These additions adapt to the needs that architects did not plan for—the unpredictable demands of everyday life. They act like add-ons, upgrades, prostheses, or improvised enhancements in dystopian cyberpunk cityscapes that peaked in '90s cinema. The building or housing complex becomes a surface of continuous recalibration—a collective system adjusted through individual decisions, domestic engineering, repair, and available materials. \n\nThe result is neither failure nor disorder. It is a form of resilience—an ongoing negotiation between formal architecture and lived reality. These windows are caught in this contradiction: they are a material of permanence that still appears provisional; a result of standardization that enables an escape from the standard through the standard itself. The frames hold the remains of a modern future while making visible the many ways that future has been modified, improvised, and made habitable.","Instagram: @clemensbehr\nWebsite: www.clemensbehr.com","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 60",60,"Clemens Behr — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":1469,"documentId":1470,"name":1457,"slug":1471,"country":1472,"biography":1473,"website":1474,"createdAt":1475,"updatedAt":1475,"publishedAt":1476,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1477,"email":28,"portrait":28},1698,"tc91pgfg7t8inac53pb95j0n","clemens-behr-buna-2026","Germany","Clemens Behr (*1985, Koblenz, Germany) is a Berlin-based artist whose work moves between sculpture, installation, architecture, and painting. He studied graphic design at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts before completing his studies in sculpture at the Berlin University of the Arts. Behr lives and works in Berlin.\n\nAt the centre of his practice is an interest in the material, spatial, and social conditions of the built environment. Behr creates large-scale installations for both interior and exterior spaces, responding directly to the specific architecture, history, and use of a site. His works are often conceived as temporary interventions: structures that enter an existing space, alter its orientation, and make its overlooked characteristics newly visible. Rather than treating architecture as a neutral backdrop, Behr approaches it as an active material—one shaped by construction, repair, adaptation, neglect, and everyday use.\n\nWorking with wood, metal, found objects, recycled materials, and ordinary building supplies, Behr constructs spatial arrangements that appear at once precise and improvised. Beams, panels, supports, fragments, and surfaces are assembled into unstable-looking constellations that interrupt familiar paths of movement and perception. These constructions can resemble temporary repairs, unfinished building sites, makeshift shelters, or artificial ruins. They refer to the visual language of urban infrastructure and construction work, while simultaneously resisting straightforward functionality.\n\nAlthough his installations strongly foreground physical material and construction, Behr also understands them as a form of painting. Colour, surface, composition, layering, and perspective play a central role in his work. His structures create painterly situations in space: they frame views, compress or extend depth, produce unexpected alignments, and turn architectural fragments into abstract compositions. In this sense, his work portrays fleeting moments found in transitional urban spaces—moments in which materials, repairs, and improvised solutions reveal their own visual and poetic logic.\n\nBehr’s practice is characterised by a productive tension between order and disorder, stability and fragility, planning and accident. His works evoke what might be called a “time out of joint”: a condition in which temporary measures become permanent, construction remains visibly unresolved, and the built world appears both functional and precarious. Through this constructed fragility, Behr invites viewers to reconsider familiar environments and to notice the aesthetic, social, and historical traces embedded in their material fabric.\n\nHis work has been presented internationally, including at the Lyon Biennale (2022), as well as in solo exhibitions at Gallery Punta, Sofia (2024), Hidari Zingaro, Tokyo (2019), and Kanya Kage Artspace, Berlin (2023)","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.clemensbehr.com\u002F","2026-09-24T12:06:39.163Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.305Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fclemensbehr\u002F",{"id":1479,"documentId":1480,"category":38,"displayOrder":1481,"displayName":1482,"createdAt":1483,"updatedAt":1483,"publishedAt":1484,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":1485,"artworkDescription":1486,"personalLinks":1487,"biographySources":1488,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":1489,"entryLabel":1490,"edition":1491,"projectImages":28,"participant":1492},747,"xibqf550pm48bay2hj4hd069",59,"Ivan Moudov","2026-09-24T12:06:41.550Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.323Z","1.

In July 1959, the American National Exhibition brought jazz records, Coca Cola bottles and Jackson Pollock paintings to Moscow, and models of the low-cost Soviet \"khrushchovka\" apartment buildings and socialist realism masterpieces went on display at the Soviet National Exhibition in New York. However, even during the Khrushchev thaw, the ongoing Cold War kept the two nations from truly understanding each other. Now, a half-century later in 2013, an American Brad Downey and a Russian Igor Ponosov met, when recent political events led to a new crisis in US-Russia relations. In order to mock superficial stereotypes about their countries, they created a number of fun surrealistic images - \"cadavre exquis\". Later, inspired by mixing vodka bottles with famous \"I heart NY\" logos, and combining Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob and Popeye characters with matryoshka dolls, the artists explored the unity of the opposites regarding their two countries. Four years later, their artworks form this exhibition. \"The Thaw\" is a diary, born out of friendship and filled with personal memories and private jokes. The illustrations, collages, art objects and banner installations showed here were created in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Bishkek, Berlin, Crimea and in two US states - Georgia and North Carolina. All of these projects were conceived and realized by the authors during their brief meetings in different parts of the world, and via long telephone calls, e-mails and parcel exchange.\n\nPonosov and Downey are carrying out their experiments, synthesizing American land art and graffiti traditions with homages to the Soviet avant-garde, Sots Art, and Moscow conceptualism. Their artworks whimsically blend Russian and American flags and coats of arms, and wittily interpret their cultures and everyday lives. In 2014, the artists go camping in the Crimean Mountains with a handmade tent, sewn from street banners, carved in different cities around the world (The Tent).

The work examines how individuals are shaped by economic and institutional systems and how mechanisms of discipline and control enter everyday working environments.\nThe installation is informed by socio-theoretical approaches including Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish and Clayton Christensen’s theory of Disruptive Innovation. While Christensen describes how new technologies and business models can disrupt established market structures, Foucault examines the development of disciplinary and surveillance mechanisms and their influence on individual behaviour. These ideas are connected to contemporary working conditions and corporate structures.\nOriginally realised at the Orgelfabrik Karlsruhe in 2025, the installation is adapted to the specific architecture and history of the former Russian Consulate in Varna. The corridor functions as a waiting area and is filled with numerous objects associated with consumer society: everyday items, packaging waste, short-lived products, and discarded goods. Their excessive accumulation refers to overproduction, consumption, and the transience of contemporary commodities.\nFrom this waiting area, visitors are called individually into an office, where they are invited to participate in what initially appears to be a conventional job interview for a position in logistics or human resources management. The interview combines elements of contemporary corporate recruitment procedures, including Amazon’s STAR method, with questions informed by Foucault’s analysis of discipline and institutional control.\nAs the conversation progresses, however, its character gradually changes. Alongside questions about professional experience and working behaviour, participants are confronted with questions concerning personal identity, loyalty, and their willingness to subordinate their own interests to those of a larger institution. The conventional job interview thereby shifts almost imperceptibly into a fictional recruitment process for an intelligence service.\nParticipants who decide to continue are led into a second room, where another stage of the selection process takes place. Physical and cognitive exercises test their fitness as well as fictional skills associated with surveillance and information gathering. These may include running, grip-strength exercises, climbing, self-defence tactics, and tasks requiring observation and concentration.\nThe selection process eventually extends beyond the installation itself. Participants receive a fictional assignment that takes them across the grounds of the BUNA Festival, where they are asked to demonstrate their abilities in surveillance, observation, and information gathering. In this way, the boundaries of the installation expand into the surrounding festival space.\nThe intelligence-service dimension responds directly to the history of the exhibition site as a former Russian Consulate and connects this institutional history with broader questions of surveillance, loyalty, discipline, and political influence.\nThroughout the installation, an advertising jingle composed from European and American commercials creates an acoustic layer that reflects the aggressiveness of contemporary advertising and consumer culture. Together, the accumulation of consumer goods, the staged office environment, the interviews, physical tests, and surveillance tasks create a participatory situation in which visitors experience shifting structures of corporate and institutional control.","Instagram: @cottierluca\nWebsite: lucacottier.ch","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 67",67,"Luca Cottier — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":1628,"documentId":1629,"name":1615,"slug":1630,"country":1631,"biography":1632,"website":1633,"createdAt":1634,"updatedAt":1634,"publishedAt":1635,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1636,"email":28,"portrait":28},1547,"m9z9lr2rzcaq23hw96owf6fm","luca-cottier-buna-2026","Switzerland \u002F Germany","Luca Cottier (born 1994, Fribourg, Switzerland) is an artist whose practice is grounded in sculpture and shaped by a sustained engagement with material, process and installation.

Through forms and colours inspired by happy childhood memories, the sculpture transforms these emotions into a contemporary work of public art.\nThe inspiration comes from familiar objects from childhoodр, beach balls, sweets, marbles and playground toys. These forms and colours carry associations with joy, freedom and play and have a universal emotional quality that can be recognised beyond cultural, generational and social boundaries.\nThe project brings a sense of joy, optimism and togetherness into the dynamic and often fragmented urban environment. The artwork establishes itself as a contemporary symbol of unity, emotional comfort and belonging, contributing to a more pleasant, human and socially active urban environment.\nThe work reflects the belief that public art should be accessible and present in people's everyday lives. In a world increasingly dominated by technology, information and constant movement, the sculpture creates a moment to pause and reconnect with simple emotions and values. It is conceived as an open and accessible work that invites an emotional experience rather than solely an intellectual interpretation. The spherical form functions as a symbolic visual anchor within the urban environment, a place to pause, meet and share a moment of presence.","Instagram: @stilianaalexievaart\nFacebook: Stiliana Alexieva Art\nWebsite: www.stiliana.com and www.stilianasculpture.com","Artists BUNA vol.4_for_uploading_to_web.xlsx — Form Responses 1, row 70",70,"Stiliana Alexieva — BUNA vol. 4 \u002F 2026",{"id":22,"documentId":23,"title":24,"year":25,"slug":26,"startDate":27,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":28,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":29,"updatedAt":29,"publishedAt":30,"locale":31},{"id":1695,"documentId":1696,"name":1684,"slug":1697,"country":53,"biography":1698,"website":1699,"createdAt":1700,"updatedAt":1700,"publishedAt":1701,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1702,"email":28,"portrait":28},1707,"cok3klthm8wnx5oyz90msx7a","stiliana-alexieva-buna-2026","Stiliana Alexieva is a Bulgarian multidisciplinary artist. Over the past 20 years, she has exhibited internationally, including four times at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, as well as at major art fairs in New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Toronto, Istanbul, San Francisco, Palm Beach, Seattle and Chicago.\nBorn into an artistic family, Alexieva was introduced to art from an early age through her father, Bulgarian painter and sculptor Jordan Alexiev. Growing up around his studio and sculptural practice gave her an early understanding of materials, form and the process of making art, which continues to inform her multidisciplinary approach today.\nHer collectors include the Royal Family of Qatar, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Formula 1 Headquarters and leading private collectors worldwide.\nAlexieva’s practice spans several interconnected areas: public art sculpture, aluminium seascape paintings, book sculptures and bronze works. Each explores the relationship between form, material and perception, examining how an object is experienced through space, light and movement.\nBuilding on this extensive exhibition history, Alexieva is expanding her practice into large-scale public space sculptures.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.stiliana.com\u002F","2026-09-24T12:06:39.674Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.432Z","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fstilianaalexievaart\u002F",{"id":1704,"documentId":1705,"category":38,"displayOrder":1669,"displayName":1706,"createdAt":1707,"updatedAt":1707,"publishedAt":1708,"locale":31,"galleryOrCollective":28,"curatorOrTeam":28,"artworkLabel":1709,"artworkDescription":1710,"personalLinks":1711,"biographySources":1712,"awardNote":28,"sourceRow":1713,"entryLabel":1714,"edition":1715,"projectImages":28,"participant":1716},1012,"scxb0g6nj2cicxzadkbqx10o","Vanya Andreeva","2026-09-24T12:07:24.944Z","2026-09-24T07:36:32.451Z","“Repeated Presence”, 2026, 120\u002F80, print on plexiglass","The project continues a series of artistic explorations in which the author uses the traditional Bulgarian kovyorche (embroidered wall hanging) as a visual and conceptual object associated with memory, domestic intimacy, and cultural belonging.

Yet Between is not about remaining there. It is a desire for the artist to be fully inside the process, inside culture, inside society.

question of borders and identity in a time of deterritorialization, dematerialization, and artificial intelligence, within a complex and ever-shifting geopolitical context where Western, Eurocentric, and neo-sovereignist cartographies are being deconstructed?\n\nIt is clear that we are living in an era marked by the vulnerability of institutions and doctrines—often undermined by financial, political, and identity-based alliances—which now face the upheaval brought about by technological revolutions and shifts in power structures.\n\nInstitutions, including museums, are overwhelmed and burdened by the question of borders and new alliances. 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.

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.

I carried the project with me to the far-away island of Antikythera in Greece, where we ring birds on their migratory route north.

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","Janis Schroeder — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2401,"documentId":2402,"name":2391,"slug":2403,"country":1472,"biography":2404,"website":2405,"createdAt":2406,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2407,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2408,"email":28,"portrait":28},84,"vl9gwqd8lwge4mb4yc4xzhx9","janis-schroeder-buna-2025","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\"","Lukas Rehm — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2506,"documentId":2507,"name":2495,"slug":2508,"country":1472,"biography":2509,"website":2510,"createdAt":2511,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2512,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2513,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Lumturie Krasniqi — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2527,"documentId":2528,"name":2517,"slug":2529,"country":2530,"biography":2531,"website":28,"createdAt":2532,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2533,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2534,"email":28,"portrait":28},95,"w774qt3vino0f9e8qczggisf","lumturie-krasniqi-buna-2025","Kosovo","Lumturie Krasniqi (b. 1997) is an artist based in Prishtina, Kosova.

Delany’s science fiction novel Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand. 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","Marko Gutić Mižimakov — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2588,"documentId":2589,"name":2578,"slug":2590,"country":2591,"biography":2592,"website":2593,"createdAt":2594,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2595,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2596,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Nemanja Nikolić — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2667,"documentId":2668,"name":2657,"slug":2669,"country":1782,"biography":2670,"website":2671,"createdAt":2672,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2673,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2674,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Rada Mateva — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2752,"documentId":2753,"name":2742,"slug":2754,"country":53,"biography":2755,"website":2756,"createdAt":2757,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2758,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2759,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Simple Architecture — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2855,"documentId":2856,"name":2845,"slug":2857,"country":53,"biography":2858,"website":2859,"createdAt":2860,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2861,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2862,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Slavica Janešlieva — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2876,"documentId":2877,"name":2866,"slug":2878,"country":1384,"biography":2879,"website":2880,"createdAt":2881,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2882,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":2883,"email":28,"portrait":28},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. The work is both static and dynamic – it exists as a whole, but also as a series of layers that the viewer can mentally “disassemble” and “reconsider.”","Instagram: @andreevavanya Facebook: Vanya Andreeva","Vanya Andreeva — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2958,"documentId":2959,"name":1706,"slug":2960,"country":53,"biography":2961,"website":28,"createdAt":2962,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":2963,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":1723,"email":28,"portrait":28},142,"xa1evxoj691b9wlkufme9ak7","vanya-andreeva-buna-2025","Vanya Andreeva is a visual artist experimenting with various media.

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","Vladan Sibinović — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":2999,"documentId":3000,"name":2989,"slug":3001,"country":1782,"biography":3002,"website":3003,"createdAt":3004,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":3005,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":3006,"email":28,"portrait":28},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","Željko Beljan — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":3019,"documentId":3020,"name":3009,"slug":3021,"country":1226,"biography":3022,"website":28,"createdAt":3023,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":3024,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":3025,"email":28,"portrait":28},146,"nobc7rdzg05ohvymnt9eshkf","zeljko-beljan-buna-2025","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","Zlatomira Oprova — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":3057,"documentId":3058,"name":3047,"slug":3059,"country":820,"biography":3060,"website":3061,"createdAt":3062,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":3063,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":3064,"email":28,"portrait":28},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. The idea is to deconstruct the anthem, creating a sensation of solitude and absence.","Instagram: _stefanoromano Facebook: Stefano Romano Website: www.stefanoromano.net","Special jury award","Stefano Romano — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":3209,"documentId":3210,"name":3199,"slug":3211,"country":3212,"biography":3213,"website":3214,"createdAt":3215,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":3216,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":3217,"email":28,"portrait":28},164,"d3d8f51dt7vzdegdw9qtpsei","stefano-romano-buna-2025","Italy \u002F Albania","Stefano Romano, (Naples, 1975) artist curator, and researcher.

The resulting wave can have a greater intensity (constructive interference) or a smaller amplitude (destructive interference), if the two waves are in phase or out of phase, respectively. The effects of interference can be observed in all types of waves, for example, light, radio waves, acoustic waves, surface water waves, gravitational waves or matter waves.

Gallery","with Boryana Petkova","S.I.S., ongoing since 2021\nParticipatory tattoo and live performance project","SIS is an ongoing project by artists Boryana Petkova and Iskra Blagoeva in collaboration with an evergrowing number of women. 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.

The focus of the collection is to store creative energy from different generations of artists around the world in boxes similar to those in which plant specimens are stored.

She works with various media – installation art, sculpture, performance, video, photography and conceptual fashion design. Her artistic position is deeply connected to the role of women and the feminine as a social construct. She deconstructs elements of reality to the point where the processes of social belief formation become the object of critical analysis. 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.

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","Sacha Guedj Cohen — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":4249,"documentId":4273,"name":4262,"slug":4274,"country":1019,"biography":4275,"website":28,"createdAt":4276,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":4277,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":4278,"email":28,"portrait":28},"uugvau987x811lsloffbnu8p","sacha-guedj-cohen-buna-2025","Sacha Guedj Cohen is an independent curator, writer, and art historian based in Paris.

The work begins with the personal - a moment of internal conflict - and turns toward the symbolic, through the archetypal figures of the witch and the princess. These fairy tale roles, so deeply embedded in our cultural consciousness, offer a seemingly clear moral dichotomy: the princess is good and beautiful, the witch is evil and grotesque. Yet, under closer scrutiny, these roles blur.\nThe piece explores how both internal and external tensions can collapse these\ncategories. 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. Neither is fully innocent, nor fully monstrous.\nThe sculpture challenges the viewer to look beyond surface appearances and\nconsider how identity, morality, and even \"goodness\" are fluid, unstable, and often\ncontradictory","Instagram: @alinasumaz Facebook: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Falinasumaz\u002F Website: https:\u002F\u002Falinapapazova.com\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Falinapapazova.framer.ai\u002F","Alina Papazova — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":4415,"documentId":4429,"name":4418,"slug":4430,"country":53,"biography":4431,"website":4432,"createdAt":4433,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":4434,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":4435,"email":28,"portrait":28},"ifj3asw3dbjrhsguo2vdd7wc","alina-papazova-buna-2025","Alina Papazova (1993) is a visual artist based in Sofia.

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. It is an exploration of how to stay with the trouble, both of the past and of the present.","Instagram: @pawelczyk_karolina Website: http:\u002F\u002Fkarolinapawelczyk.info","http:\u002F\u002Fkarolinapawelczyk.info","Karolina Pawelczyk — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":4516,"documentId":4529,"name":4518,"slug":4530,"country":4531,"biography":4532,"website":4533,"createdAt":4534,"updatedAt":57,"publishedAt":4535,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":4536,"email":28,"portrait":28},"rjjwdrg2zm8odlxuxewwjx7i","karolina-pawelczyk-buna-2025","Poland","Karolina Pawelczyk is an interdisciplinary artist, director, and researcher who explores dysfunctionality in both personal relationships and systemic structures, examining coping mechanisms and collective strategies for navigating social and political failures.

The Bulgarian Pavilion’s snowy summer courtyard in Venice symbolises disrupted natural rhythms, while the interior fosters reflection. Powered by solar energy, a snow-making machine covers the courtyard in snow, creating a self-regulating cycle of production and conservation. Inside, an artificial fireplace creates an ironic sense of comfort, offering a striking contrast to the cold courtyard outside. Inspired by the traditional Bulgarian odaya, the space encourages collective contemplation and dialogue. The exhibition catalogue features contributions from international architects and artists, inviting visitors to rethink their relationship with nature and technology.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.labiennale.org\u002Fen\u002Farchitecture\u002F2025\u002Fbulgaria \nhttps:\u002F\u002Fwww.bulgarianpavilion.com\u002Fiassen-markov","Iassen Markov — BUNA vol.3 \u002F 2025",{"id":518,"documentId":1874,"title":1875,"year":1876,"slug":1877,"startDate":28,"endDate":28,"themeTitle":1878,"themeText":28,"pressText":28,"createdAt":1879,"updatedAt":1880,"publishedAt":1881,"locale":31},{"id":4847,"documentId":4848,"name":4837,"slug":4849,"country":820,"biography":4850,"website":28,"createdAt":4851,"updatedAt":4851,"publishedAt":4852,"locale":31,"portraitCredit":28,"instagram":28,"email":28,"portrait":28},330,"zd3ggog9zndiefveum6ktczx","iassen-markov-buna-2025","Iassen Markov is an architect and designer based between Munich, Stuttgart, and Sofia.

Deejaying came natural to him so it didn’t take him long to play at every underground club in Sofia. \nSpending nine years of his life in Scotland and Austria, where he completed his studies and worked as an architect, he had access to the underground electronic and live music scenes of Glasgow, London, Vienna and other European cities, which enriched his musical culture. \nHis specific energy moves the room and everyone in it in a contagious amplifying propeller. His diverse music taste is broadcasted in his show Melting Pot monthly on OFF BEAT Radio. Though his taste for music varies through many genres and sub-genres, his party sets are mostly built around House, Disco and some obscurities here and there.","2026-07-31T11:26:02.175Z","2026-07-31T11:26:03.319Z"]
