Atanas Botev, an artist active in the modern culture of south-eastern Europe, through references to regional and Western historical, political, and social landscapes conducts what might best be understood as a multimedia experiment: his art takes the audience into a hypnotic world where the great narratives – the history of the political and the history of the aesthetic – become immanent. This hallucinatory blow to the building of a universal academic structure acquires revolutionary features; and in the domains of the poetic, it glows with a perceptive amazement and a psychedelic shock.
