I Love You Very Much

Installation by Elena Kaludova in Gallery Gallery + conversation with Albena Baeva
When
2024
Where
“Geo Milev” District
In “Geo Milev” district an ordinary playground has turned into a gallery through the initiative of artists and curators Albena Baeva and Rene Beekman.
For Albena and Rene, the space is a secret and invisible place, a seemingly neglected playground near their studio, where the Gallery’s router is located. In the evening, this place transforms into a lively gathering of children from the nearby blocks, who play frosty or hide-and-seek until late. With the neighbours’ consent, they place a QR code that shows secret and invisible sculptures in augmented reality. In this way, they create the first augmented reality sculpture park in Bulgaria, part of the ‘Gallery’, the first gallery with an entirely digital focus.
For “Nine Elephants” we met with Albena, who told us about previous and current exhibitions, including Elena Kaludova’s work “I Love You Very Much”, which deals with the invisibility of violence against women in everyday life.
Part of the first edition of Nine Elephants in 2024.
