The flying saucer shape building is called the Buzludzha Monument.
Buzludzha is a historical peak in the Central Stara Planina, Bulgaria and is 1441 metres high. In 1868 it was the place of the final battle between Bulgarian rebels led by Hadji Dimitar and Stefan Karadzha and the Turks. In 1891 the socialists led by Dimitar Blagoev assembled secretly in the area to form an organised socialist movement. In honour of this act was built the Buzludzha Monument, one of the symbols of the socialism in Bulgaria. The building is now abandoned but still stands alone in the most beautiful landscape.

IN TIMES OF DESERT

To our parents, civilisation offered houses in the suburbs, computers, and automobiles.
And civilisation delivered. To the children of these workers, civilisation offered life on the moon, artificial intelligence, endless peace. All of which have failed to emerge. This world offers nothing to us: no meaningful work, no rest, no future – only fear.

The apocalypse is not happening in the future,

it is happening NOW.

The apocalypse is not happening in the future,
it is happening NOW.

It is not the result of our personal sins and
it is not the “collective responsibility of humanity”.
Climate change (or God, or whatever)
will not bring about the apocalypse.
The apocalypse began with the advent of our
current form of life based on industrial

production.

It is easy to assume that
there is no alternative to this form of
life,
that the way we live in this present
moment is simply a reflection of the way
things are.
Implicit in this common-sense
is the not-so-hidden assumption that the
present will extend indefinitely into the
future,
which both provides a measure
of comfort as well as the feeling of
imprisonment.
In times of crisis, a space of freedom returns,
and the possibility of a rupture with the present opens.
History,
long banished to dreary scholastic books,
returns to us fresh and alive.
To push away that which is closest to us, our
very form of life, and see it objectively
– this might seem impossible.
Yet it is not:
the first step is to give our form of
life a name, to identify it as something
finite in time and space, so capable of
ending.
This perpetual present that has
its only favor being the certainty of its
own destruction has a name:
capitalism.

Body Suspension

A suspension is the actpetter of suspending a human body from hooks that have been put through body piercings. These piercings are temporary and are performed just prior to the actual suspension.Historically, suspension rituals were performed by the Mandan tribe, located along the banks of the Missouri River. The Oh-Kee-Pa type of suspension was derived from this ritual. Modern day suspensions are closely related to the artwork of performance artists that use their own bodies as canvases. Roland Loomis was an artist who specialized in suspension and piercing performance pieces, also starting the Modern Primitivism movement. He helped to bring attention to the suspension 'scene' in the United States.[citation needed] Allen Falkner helped to bring suspensions to people who weren't spiritual, as well as a plethora of different and unique suspensions types.

Body-Suspensions wurden vor allem von der Modern-Primitive-Bewegung in Anlehnung an das indianische Sonnentanz-Ritual adaptiert. Die Durchführung einer Suspension kann auf unterschiedlichsten Beweggründen beruhen. Sie kann sowohl eine Herausforderung darstellen, als auch durch den Nervenkitzel und die erhöhte Adrenalinausschüttung motiviert sein, wie sie auch bei Extremsportarten gegeben ist. Meist liegt die Motivation jedoch in der damit einhergehenden Körpererfahrung, basierend auf Belastbarkeitserprobung und Bewusstseinserweiterung. Häufig begeben sich Personen dabei in einen meditativen Zustand. Auch das Gefühl des freien Schwebens dürfte für so manchen ein Beweggrund sein.Indianerverbände lehnen die Aneignung traditioneller Rituale durch westliche Subkulturen ab und distanzieren sich von Suspensions die entgegen der ursprünglich religiösen Bedeutung der Unterhaltung oder persönlichen Erfahrungen dienen.

Ambiguity of fire

As fire has also destructive capabilities, the worshiping of fire is necessarily ambiguous."
Worship or deification of fire is known from various religions. Fire has been an important part of the human culture since the Lower Paleolithic.There are so much different rituals, celebrations, tradition connected with the coming of the evils spirits.
Exactly this human belief in the ability of the fire to connect different worlds , realities and states of mind, will send us to different points of the world, where such worship might be still practiced.

Correfoc> Fire run
Barcelona
2010

The correfoc is a very popular Catalan tradition always seen at neighbourhood fiestas. It consists of "colles de diables" which means "groups of devils" chasing and dancing to the beat of traditional gralla drums and spewing out sparks from fireworks attached to forks.

The legend of Correfoc is that the Mascle Cabró (Catalan) or Macho Cabrón in Spanish - a male goat or ram in English - hears the arrival of the "diables" the devils, and commands his armies to cross the gate of hell called "Porta de l´Infern" which separates the real world from hell.

This video does not try to reproduce the celebration Correfoc realistically. It is a curfew of an abandoned world that appears from the fog and celebrates its powers one time every year. Just a small piece of the pagan heritage spread on five continents that cerebrates the arrival of evil spirits and fire worship.

EL FOGUEO

The Correfoc is one of the most popular events of La Merce with up to 70.000 spectators. About forty groups of "colles de diables" - “groups of devils” from in and around Barcelona, as well as dragons and other "bestiari de foc" - fire beasts, take part in this festival of fire. It starts with spectacular fireworks of the "Porta de l´Infern " - "Gates of Hell," which then open and release the "diables" from hell and so the "Correfoc" - firerun starts. About 80.000 fireworks are used during the correfoc. It's very noisy and to get it all going the "Trabucaires" Catalan "bandits" fire their blunderbuss guns.

Kukeri }{ Kукери

Bulgaria
2005

Kukeri is a traditional Bulgarian ritual to scare away evil spirits, with a costumed man performing the ritual. The costumes cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt. Around New Year and before Lent, the kukeri walk and dance through the village to scare evil spirits away with the costumes and the sound of the bells, as well as to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year.
The ritual is attributed to Thracian origins. Similar rituals can be also found in Romania and Serbia. The masked goat-type figure is known as Capra in Moldavia, Brezaia in Muntenia, Cerbul in Bucovina , and Turca inTransylvania.

"Gritería chiquita"
Nicaragua , Leon
2009

"Gritería chiquita"

Anlässlich der Gritería chiquita, die heute Abend in León stattfindet, begann der heutige Vormittag mit einer Einführung über die Bedeutung dieses leoneser Festes. Es hat seinen Ursprung in einem einmonatigen Ausbruch des Vukans Cerro Negro, der sich unweit von León befindet. Die Stadt war den gesamten Monat mit Asche bedeckt. Die Leute begannen Kerzen anzuzünden und vor dem Bild der Jungfrau Maria zu beten. Am darauffolgenden Tag hörte der Ascheregen auf. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt wird dieser Tag in León gefeiert. Und wir waren natürlich mittendrin!! Um fünf Uhr nachmittags marschierten wir zur Kathedrale, wo der Erzbischof den Startschuss für das Fest gab. Ein wildes Feuerwerk begann, bei dem unter anderem einige Männer Holzkisten über dem Kopf trugen, an denen Feuerwerkskörper befestigt waren und ständig quer durch die Menschenmenge abgeschossen wurden. Diese Männer, die Stiere symbolisieren sollten, rannten über die Plaza und lösten damit einen riesen Tumult aus, da natürlich jeder Angst hatte, von dem Feuerwerk getroffen zu werden. Es war wirklich spaßig. Danach begann aber die eigentliche Gaudi, bei der alle, und wir natürlich auch, von Haus zu Haus rannten, in denen meist riesige Altare aufgebaut waren mit Jungfrau María und oft auch dem Cerro Negro. Alle rannten zu diesen Häusern und schrien: QUIEN CAUSA TANTA ALEGRÍA??? Daraufhin antworteten die Bewohner des Hauses: LA ASUNCIÓN DE MARÍA!! wir: QUE VIVA LA VIRGEN!! sie: QUE VIVA!!! und dann bekam man allen möglichen Scheiß. Meistens handelte es sich dabei um knallige Süßigkeiten, teilweise aber auch noch um traditionelle selbstgemachte nicaraguanische dulces. Am meisten haben uns aber die anderen Sachen gefallen, die wir tonnenweise abstauben konnten: Blockflöten aus Plastik, frescos, Ketten mit Kreuz, ein Pediküreset, kleine Säckchen mit Zucker, kleine Bildchen der Jungfrau María, Ansteckbuttons, Streichhölzer und lauter anderes Gedöns. Vollkommen erschöpft und heiser vom Schreien und Herumrennen ließen wir den Abend im Vía Vía ausklingen, wo es ein tolles Konzert einer typischen nicaraguanischen Band gab.

NICARAGUA

La Tierra de Lagos y Volcanes

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America with an area of 130,373 km2. The country is bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, the Caribbean Sea to the east.

The eruptions of western Nicaragua's volcanoes, many of which are still active, have devastated the land but also have enriched it with layers of fertile ash. The geologic activity that produces vulcanism also breeds powerful earthquakes. Tremors occur regularly throughout the Pacific zone, and earthquakes have nearly destroyed the capital city, Managua, more than once.

The capital city of Nicaragua is Managua. Roughly one quarter of the nation's population lives in the Nicaraguan capital, making it the second largest city and metropolitan area in Central America following Guatemala city.
León is also the second largest city in Nicaragua.The city was abandoned in 1610, after an eruption of the Momotombo volcano , located only a couple miles away, which left extensive damage in the form of flooding from lake Managua. The inhabitants decided to move to its current location next to the Indigenous town of Subtiava. The ruins of the abandoned city are known as "León viejo" and were excavated in 1960.

León has fine examples of Spanish Colonial architecture, including the grand Cathedral of the Assumption, built from 1706 to 1740, with two towers added in 1746 and 1779.

On December 12, 2009, La Prensa, a Nicaraguan newspaper, reported that Nicaragua is currently the third to fifth most affected country from the climate change phenomena. Concerns have arisen in the country because there have been no specific policies set forth by the Nicaraguan government to cope with the phenomenon. However, various civil society organizations, and the government itself, have pioneered a few projects to combat the effects of climate change.

By most economic measures, Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Americas. During the war between the US-backed Contras and the Marxist government of the Sandinistas in the 1980s, much of the country's infrastructure was damaged or destroyed. Inflation averaged 30% throughout the 1980s. After the United States imposed a trade embargo in 1985, which lasted 5 years, Nicaragua's inflation rate rose dramatically. The country is still a recovering economy and it continues to implement further reforms to improve profits for foreign businesses.

The new waste disposal in the state of Leon was built recently. The recycling is done by local people who are permitted to enter the disposal unit to collect plastic and metal which they can sell after for their living. The old disposal in Fortín was closed before a month.The new disposal was build with fund raising from abroad . The big pipes lead out the upcoming gases through the mountain of rubbish and can be used for accumulation of electricity.

Nicaragua achieved its independence from Spain and joined the Federal Republic of Central America in 1823, later leaving the Federal Republic in 1838. Nicaragua increasingly became a subject of substantial interest because of its geographic position for a canal that would service the Windward Passage. Roughly a century after operations of the Panama Canal commenced and one hundred and eighty five years after the initial plans for the Nicaraguan Canal waterway, the prospect of a Nicaraguan ecocanal has remained the subject of interest, with its construction in progress.

Nicaragua has experienced several military dictatorships, the longest one being the hereditary dictatorship of the Somoza family for much of the 20th century.In 1961 Carlos Fonseca, turned back to the historical figure of Sandino, and along with 2 others founded the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). After the 1972 earthquake and Somoza's brazen corruption, mishandling of relief, and refusal to rebuild Managua, the ranks of the Sandinistas were flooded with young disaffected Nicaraguans who no longer had anything to lose. While searching, for the so-called 'terrorists' the National Guard pillaged villages and imprisoned, tortured, raped, and executed hundreds of villagers.
The Sandinistas, supported by some of the populace, elements of the Catholic Church, and regional governments (including Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Venezuela), took power in July 1979. Somoza fled the country and eventually ended up in Paraguay, where he was assassinated in September 1980.

To begin the task of establishing a new government, they created a Council (or junta) of National Reconstruction, made up of five members– Sandinista militants Daniel Ortega and Moises Hassan, novelist Sergio Ramirez Mercado (a member of "the Twelve"), businessman Alfonso Roebelo Callejas, and Violeta Barrios de Chamorro .
Multi-party democratic elections were held in 1990, which saw the defeat of the Sandinistas by a coalition of anti-Sandinista (from the left and right of the political spectrum) parties led by Violeta Chamorro. The defeat shocked the Sandinistas but the exit polling convinced Daniel Ortega that the election results were legitimate, and were instrumental in his decision to accept the vote of the people and step down rather than void the election. Chamorro's main contribution to Nicaragua was the disarmament of groups in the northern and central areas of the country. This provided stability that the country had lacked for over ten years. In subsequent elections in 1996 Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas of the FSLN were again defeated, this time by candidates of the Constitutional Liberal Party (PLC).Daniel Ortega returned to the presidency with 37.99% of the vote during the elections in November 2006.

Before the general elections on 5 November 2006, the National Assembly passed a bill further restricting abortion in Nicaragua. President Enrique Bolanos supported this measure, and signed the bill into law on 17 November 2006 . As a result Nicaragua is one of four countries in the world where abortion is illegal with no exceptions, along with Chile, Malta and El Salvador along with Vatican City. No exceptions are made neither in case of rape even if the committer is family member nor in case of serious life thread for the pregnant mother.

In front of the orphanage in Leon children are waiting for the promised pinatas. Pinatas are puppets made out of rubber balloons glued with colorful paper and filled with candies from inside. The children had to hit the pinatas with bondage on their eyes. When the candies fell down the children ran like crazy to collect the sweets.

Painting on the wall in the centre of Leon. The danger of infection with HIV (SIDA) is also a reality for the local community in Leon. One local organization supports infected with HIV patients to cope with the prejudice in the society and to continue being self-contained part of the social life. Other organizations try to rise the awareness about AIDS in the local communities by organizing educational courses in schools and other institutions. Blood examination for HIV are offered for free in some hospitals and thus more permissible for lower class in the last years. But the conservative and often religious stereotypes sometimes might be still an obstacle for many people. Especially young women confess that they still doubt to use precautions or search medical aid scared by the consequences of stigmatization or accusations.

Nicaraguan culture has strong folklore, music and religious traditions, deeply influenced by European culture but enriched with Amerindian sounds and flavors. Nicaraguan literature has historically been an important source of poetry in the Spanish-speaking world, with internationally renowned contributors such as Ruben Dario who is regarded as the most important literary figure in Nicaragua.

The House of Culture in the center of Leon was founded shortly after the revolution in he 80's. The house is the only one of its type in the town. In these space variety of cultural activities, workshops and art courses are offered to the local community. Children make their first steps on guitar playing patiently adviced from their teacher.

Handcrafter swiftly forms decorative figures out of clay.When they are dry enough she will color them with special paint and shiny stains.

Nicaraguan music is a mixture of indigenous and European, especially Spanish, influences. Musical instruments include the marimba and others common across Central America.

Bachata has also gained popularity in Nicaragua. Combinations of styles from the Dominican Republic and the United States can be found throughout the country. As a whole music is very significant part of the daily life of the locals.Wherever you will go you can hear loud radio tuned on a station with the latest reaggeton hits.

Nicaragua's rum Flor de Caña is renowned as among the best in Latin America. Other local rums like the Perla and the Plata are much cheaper. Trying the local rum is an almost compulsory especially if you the want to jump in the lifestyle of an ordinary Nicaraguan.

Gallo pinto, Nicaragua's national dish , is made with white rice and red beans that are cooked separately and then fried together. Many of Nicaragua's dishes include indigenous fruits and vegetables such as jocote, mango, papaya, tamarindo, pipian, banana, avocado, yuca, and herbs such as cilantro, oregano and achiote.Nicaraguans also have been known to eat guinea pigs and tapirs, iguanas, turtle eggs, armadillos and boas but as all these creatures are threatened with extinction, efforts are being made to curb this tendency.

PROGRESS
MULTIMEDIA ART

The multimedia installation „PROGRESS“ is an visual ambient created from mixture of video , rhythm, performance and sculpture. It is a space where the world of images and sounds merge into a reflection of the controversial human nature and its greatest creations.

The installation is authors visual testimony. A puzzle of deformed images of the unforgettable past, the memories of an innocent childhood, the unfullfilled promises of generations before.

The installation „PROGRESS“ is experimental multimedia space. An ambient built up from from different mediative fragments: audio-visual, sculptural, textural and performative. They altogether form a rhythm of images , sounds and text that reproduce the authors visual perception of the surrounding, human society and nature.

Le Dèsert
Même si nous n'avons pas les mêmes pensées
Train de vie, un amour différent c'est vrai
Même si nous n'avons plus le temps pour nous parler
Dans nos coeurs, dans nos mains un lien du sang nous lie à jamais

Il faut te dire que la vie est un désert
Et que malgré tout on s'aime
Même si parfois tout est compliqué la haut
On se respecte on se respecte
Il faut te dire que la vie est un désert
Et que malgré tout on s'aime
Même si parfois tout est compliqué la haut
Ohoh

Même si la distance est un reflet
De nos deux vies de bôhèmes ou d'exilés
Même si nos coeurs sont durs comme la pierre
La flamme est vive et brûle désormais

Il faut te dire que la vie est un désert
Et que malgré tout on s'aime
Même si parfois tout est compliqué la haut
On se respecte, on se respecte

Il faut te dire que la vie est un désert
Et que malgré tout on s'aime
Même si parfois tout est compliqué la haut

Park Eksarcia in Athens
"Lets Take our Life Back in Our Hands"

One of the most visionary manifestations of self-organization of the social movement that appeared through the insurrection in December in Greece.

In march 2009 an abandoned parking area in Exarchia just 50 metres from the spot where Alexis Grigoropoulos was killed by police, was occupied.. Through the self-organization and the energy of more than 1000 people that gathered there in the first morning of the squatting, we were able tp turn this place into a park in less than 12 hours. We removed the cement and planted trees and flowers .
We couldn't believe how fast and how beautiful it is. And everybody helped this dream to happen .

The area was used for many years as parking lot and for 15 years the Athens Municipality failed to turn it into a park as it was the original city-plan.And suddenly all the people of the city could enjoy a new self-organized park, an area that offers to the center of the city an area of freedom that children can play, old people can have some hours of calm and friendly feelings, all people can speak, share their dreams, prepare plans, visions and start new struggles...

All of them these people they defend the park together through rotated citizens-self organized protection timeline, hard personal work, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, fights with the police and open public assemblies...We will never surrender...We will never allow to the governement to destroy this park....
The park exists already 1 year

Photographic Essay , Burkina Faso, Hrsitina Vardeva, 2009

We are so different but it is all about our freedom.
We are on the right way when we meet
and talk together about our common future
We have enough common struggles.
We all need time
We want to be able to choose
We all want another reality
We all dream,love and cry
We are all tired and confuse sometimes
We all need real friends around us
We all want that „we“ is really existing
We all search for our identity, chase our goalsand expect something more...

It was nice rainy month here, a lot of new contacts, visions and ideas...

I never met m ore happy, cheerful, helpful and hospitable people than the Burkinabe. One month is not enough for sure to get know this country and the real hard lifestyle here, not even to get used to it, but I am happy that I could come here at all.

We visited a project for street children,a nursery school in the Koubri village, couple of national parks, very poor quarters of Ouagadougou. We lived for three days in a local families, went to reggae pubs, street markets, artists quarters. We took part in the meetings with local officials and participated in international social forum.

The streets of Ouagadougou were flooded couple of times because of the heavy tropical rain. I survived after riding motorcycle here which is dangerous experience. Poverty is a lifestyle here , if you are not used to it after the first days, better go back home.

The young people here are open to learn a lot about our lives and experience but are also careful with taking every possibility to change as reasonable and good for them. I can completely understand this scepticism. In Ouagadougou there are so much rich „nasaras“ (white-skinned or white;from moore language). Most of the Europeans that live and work here have a big house in the outskirts of Ougadougou, go shoping in the most expensive supermarkets, give advices to the local Africans how they should use their water resources efficiently, build households and streets properly, make their business profit correctly, make their education better.

But still the cultural and political differences between the European people and the localers continue to be enormous. It is both difficult for us to understand the local situation but also for the Burkinabe to jump for seconds in 21st century European capitalist reality.
We cannot understand why they like to have new mobile phones and buy cool clothes, why they admire the life we hate. And they are curious how our society is still functioning while women and men supposed to be equal and homosexuality is tolerated.
They want to come to live, work and study in Europe, we want to stay and travel longer in Africa. They believe their life will be better in Europe; we hopelessly try to explain to them that it might be just a bad dream.
They scare the Racism of the Europeans against the Africans, we scare the humiliation of the women rights in Africa.
They are angry that we can come whenever we want to their country, we are angry that our governments made our homes an untouchable metal fortress .

BODY FLU, Incendi@, 2006„The whole life of those societies in which modern conditions of production prevail presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. All that once was directly lived has become mere representation. The spectacle is not a collection of images; rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images.“

Guy Debord, Society of Spectacle

My Spectacle
Hristina Vardeva

This is my self-portrait, my spectacle, my experiment on visualization of body and image. I decided to put a mirror in front of myself this time. To visualize the feeling of being deformated, violated and simplified to pure matter. I used a special reflecting surface and made shots from different perspectives with various backgrounds while moving the foil constantly.The images are in this way a mere chance and are not additionally manipulated. The collection was exhibited as series of images that flow into each other to build the whole spetacle. The viewers of the exhibition are playing essential role in the project- as they are the ones who in their everyday lives have to distinguish between reality and illusion.
