Iva Kirova’s solo exhibition Whateverest at Sofia’s the fridge, opened May 11 and ran to May 22.
The Berlin-based artist presented a series photographs alongside a video and installation that explored apathy, the concept of ‘whatever’ and the politics of its connotations. Sitting somewhere between public and private, Kirova asks us to explore the fine balance between “ignorance and action.”
Examining the Bulgarian mountain as a “place of isolation and a trigger for political change,” the exhibition places itself in a messy process of growth and transformation. Using herself as a the subject, Kirova brings the viewer into an archival memory of being in the mountains, and the record of her hikes, where “failure is embraced as a possibility for rethinking the importance of a goal and the movement towards it.”**
