Richlenzia / documented poster series / Sofia,Bulgaria 2014/15 The posters provided an (ironic) summary of all influences entering a new country and understand every new impression as an input to this art work and every action as an experiment towards the reactions. language/culture/tradition/spaces/rules/people/society - in connection with its own self-positioning, self-expression and its own visibility: Who will point out? How will be the reactions? How long will they be visible in the cityscape? Who will recognize? Will they be destroyed? Who and where will they be removed, where they will stay for longer? Who will make a research and get in contact with me? What are the interpretations i get back from the audience? Seeing this as an public and ongoing experiment, this work created integration, knowledge and many surprises. Richlenzia functions as Alter Ego of myself in which context i positioned and settled in Sofia. I followed and it followed me.
