Relations without a Shape
Relationships, whether in mathematical or humanitarian terms can't be unformed – when they are, they respond to some drama. Precisely therefore the festival's motto is that this year – because its history and the time it exists are dramatic. Perhaps this motto is more suitable for conceptual type of artworks, but it can be solved also trough flexibility. Dimitar Grozdanov
