Velizar Dimchev - Never Ending Fun

"The exhibition of Velizar Dimchev is physically composed of several digital prints on aluminum, framed in a fence net, several digital prints on paper, one on textile - curtain, several objects of different trivial materials. The images on these prints are well-known, they are the icons of the popular culture of action, the characters of the pre-digital age culture, who, without wanting to, shaped the world of our generation, have lived the legendary status, formed a colorful pantheon. These modern characters, taught to exploit the basic instincts, imperceptibly politicized the cinematic projection of our world. Of course, these are power positions, roles and management techniques of both individual and group/mass souls. The heroes, with their grotesque, but spectacular heroism, sowed in the souls of the teenage non-Americans an unconditional belief in the rightness of what they are defending and fighting. Since a person is usually the main protagonist, a protagonist of their own history and existence, as the images on the screen dominate their blockbusters, it was not hard to believe that you are the good one, the righteous, regardless of the nuances of personal or group heroism.

In the Never Ending Fun exhibition, visually created or at least treating the viewer as a teenager, and these reflections, which I return to the collective (semi) consciousness of male adolescence with perfect precision, the episode in which the cards were handed out was given. Play them as you please but you will not get any other cards. " – Yovo Panchev
