Two worlds in comparison, defined by the temporal boundary but deeply united. Extraordinary works that cut through the time and look at the present, at Kiril’s works. And evaluate its dense flow, you want symbolic, you want institutional, you want physiognomy opens new possibilities of reading in each of them. Difficult research for intensity undertaken by Kiril with extraordinary skill. Dushev his surname, and dusha in Bulgarian means soul, the souls who Kiril ‘captures’ so deeply in his works.
