the shimmer of a possibility / 2023
moving image, soundscape & photographysite-specific & solo exhibition at ko-op art space, sofia bulgaria, curator vasil vladimirov
The Shimmer of a Possibility is an installation and reflection that combines text, sound, photography, and video, investigating memory, trauma, care, therapy, and mental health. In her solo exhibition, Krasimira Butseva employs autobiographical narratives alongside methodologies from her artistic practice, connecting them with various care tactics and drawing from psychotherapy practices and trauma studies.
The exhibition will feature a publication created in collaboration with the artists Judith Hamann and Luana Lojić. The printed matter is a discussion of methods of self-care, rituals from their creative practices, and ideas surrounding the sense of belonging. Together, the publication and a selection of the author's audio-visual reflections touch upon working with trauma, grounding exercises, under- standing and remembering through the body in both personal and artistic context.
