During the state of emergency in Bulgaria due to COVID-19, a rather severe public verdict came to light about artists and their work. The prevailing opinion was that art is something like a hobby, it’s made for entertainment and doesn't require much effort and skill.
As a photographer, I have been researching and documenting visually creative processes in the fields of crafts, performing, fine and applied arts for years. I continued to do so in the conditions of the pandemic – аn extremely difficult period for artists, in order to answer the question: can creativity be isolated?
The project “Without an Audience” includes four visual stories about creativity during the lockdown, shot from December 2020 to April 2021.
My work is a kind of visual archive about creativity during isolation and crisis, presenting the intimate moments of the work of these artists – their emotions and complete devotion at the moment of materialization of a dream, an urge to create.
As my mission, I recognize the need to take care of the audience by maintaining its interest in art, making it intimate with the artists’ work, and thus educating it in respect.
