Project description

It is part of the cycle of urban interventions which Samuil Stoyanov undertook in the framework of his participation in the international art project The Art of Urban Intervention within the section organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art-Sofia.

The main idea of the “Temporary Alteration” project is to create a short-term change in the public space of the city while concentrating on the ability of art to instigate change by the use of minimal means. This kind of change creates a different context which is urging the audience and the inhabitants of the city to consider a new view on the urban environment as well as a variety of intellectual and emotional interpretations.

The project consists of slipping on (from bottom to top) black plastic garbage bags onto the globe-shaped street lamps on the square in front of the City Art Gallery of Dobritch. The bags are fastened at the top around the lamp post.
