NO FILTER: 10 YEARS PEOPLE OF SOFIA
Vihren Georgiev is the creator of "People of Sofia," a project that unveils the unfiltered essence of the city. He doesn't pursue sanitized images but instead delves into the urban chaos, capturing its struggles, triumphs, and silent expressions. Through his lens, he crafts a concise guidebook to human interactions – showcasing the faces of the remorseful and the gestures of the proud, encapsulating the entire splendor of human existence. The images he captures stand as timeless manifestos, preserving moments that defy aging and distortion. Each photograph asserts that the city is more than a mere backdrop; it is a living, breathing entity with people who share our journey.
The exhibition doesn't aim for an idealized portrayal of the world; rather, it beckons us to gaze into reality and feel what enhances our perception of the environment we inhabit and our connection to it. Within it lies the capacity to gather and share stories, to transmute moments into lasting memories, and to reshape our perspectives. Every photograph encapsulates a moment in time that transcends temporality. Vihren recreates this reality with patience and an acute attention to detail. His photographs act as filters, cutting through the chaos around us, offering clarity but also instilling hope.
