About

Born in 1967 in Vratsa, Bulgaria. Graduated from the National Academy of Arts in 1996. He has been working with video since the late 1990s. His interest is focused on the ability of this medium to produce suspense without "collapsing" into narrative conventions. He explores the boundaries of different human relationships, communities, characters, habits, behavior, and interrelationships. His works strive to create a powerful and highly impactful vision that simultaneously utilizes the achievements of contemporary society while also taking a critical treatment toward the clichés it creates.
