Visual diaries
Keeping visual diaries has been an important part of my work. In 2023, I started keeping a diary every day with no end day in sight yet. Another time - on the first day of 2017 - I opened a notebook and wrote three strict rules for a year long project.
Every day of 2017 gets two pages in the visual diaries, which can be filled with everything - drawings, folding sculptures, collage, text
When the day is over, no corrections are to be made
If a day is missed, the pages are to be left blank with only the date noted
Series of 8 diaries and 8 videos
Exhibited at +359 gallery, Sofia, January 24 - February 13, 2018
Series of 10 rise prints made by the artist
Art book with text by Stefan Ivanov, printed in 500 copies
The diary is for the good days, big events, strange moments. Stupidity, the everyday, and boredom are not left outside of it. In 2017, I imposed on myself to keep a visual diary every day of the year. Some days I would find a new style of expression, experiment with folding sculptures, and get up from my desk after a job well done. In other days I would be bored to death, plot a passive-aggressive revenge on the pages, or contemplate quitting art forever just so I wouldn’t have to make my pages. This is everything. A whole year.
