4. Untold Bulgaria / Неразказаната България(2025)
A three-part series of screenings and exhibitions that confront forgotten or suppressed chapters of Bulgaria's modern history - from armed resistance against totalitarianism, through exile and artistic obsession, to radical dissent in science and politics.
This programme is dedicated to the memory of filmmaker Atanas Kiriakov (1939-2025), whose unwavering commitment to truth and freedom of thought shaped a singular body of work.
programme: Goryani, 2011 | Le grand amour du "terror-iste” Francais Abel Rambert , 2007 & Exhibition of works of Jules Pascin from Aparat.Collection | 1200 pages of pain, 2022
3. Flags.project (2024)
Pinacoteca Aparat is exhibiting its collection of national flags, as well as flags representing separatist movements, ethnic territories, and insurgent armies. Some of these flags are celebrated globally, others remain socially taboo or largely ignored. This is not merely a list of honourable mentions with personal significance; the collection invites discussion and debate about our beliefs and cultural concepts, and affirms the importance of culture itself.
During the exhibition of the first five of ten flags and accompanying films, the project was censored by ruzzian-linked assets at Instagram. The remaining works were never completed, but two additional episodes are planned for 2026.
1. Preliminary notes for an exhibition: Photographic journey to forgotten churches of an idealized reality (2023)
2. Hanging drawings, wind, flying curtain and threads: An installation made together with Albena Petkova and her amazing drawings (2023)
