Farce - The Way we live In this world, where the virus-issue defines our life, we are about to forget the origin of our existence. Blinded by the blinking of neon and caught in the trap of political rejections, where is now the universe of the human soul? In this pandemic chaos, through all that we have to accept, the project called “Farce - The Way we live” will provoke the audience with a variety of visions. The Bulgarian curator Stefan Stoyanov has united 15 positions, mirroring the political fake we live in. The project includes a multitude of artworks, as well as the media of film, installation and photography. The main message of the exhibition will be represented by the newest work of the artist Iv Toshain, who is born in Bulgaria and based in Vienna. “Art has to be rearmed”, says Toshain, and will impress the visitors with her neon installation, called “Gorgona”. Inspired by the classic Sculpture of Bernini, she combines glass, chains and lights in a very original and effective way. Her work is showing the vision of a woman with a brave heart, living in the prison of a world, defined by selfishness, vanity and fear, a world that strongly needs the metamorphose of consciousness.
