IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD

2013

Hanging installation with 36 wooden light panels, 5x4,5x10,5 m.

3 light tables, dimensions varied

In collaboration with Kiril Kuzmanov

The installation was commissioned by the Sofia State University to show the history of Bulgarian literature from Middle Age till late 18th century. Instead of producing a typical exhibition panels with reproductions of historical documents, we made a selection of the most important manuscripts and placed their copies into small wooden light boxes hanging from a metal structure. The viewers were invited to get inside the light box “cloud” and hold the panels close to their eyes - referring to the Medieval habit of writing in a standing position, instead of sitting on a table.
