Faceless Self-Control

Faceless Self-Control

What happens when you cross external borders without having crossed the internal ones first?
In the years of Socialism, “face control” was a daily practice aimed at making us faceless, united by the Communist idea of justice and fighting for it. It turned out to be utopia.
Today, “face control” is mostly a lifestyle control, based on market principles or simulation of such. The faith that the market is a fair regulator also turned out to be utopia.
The plan to restore justice in the name of the “common people” by “selected people” – hacktivists who perfectly master the new technology - is just another utopia.  “The anonymous“ define themselves as the global conscience. They claim that compassion lies in the basis of their idea. “I am you, and you are me –this sounds like an attempt “of the Western awareness to understand the depth of the Eastern facelessness“.(1) They rely on the global network and new technology as a means for exposure and regulation. A revolutionary global cause which takes no account of the spiritual development process in the individual, thus closely resembling the conjuring formulas aimed at changing the awareness of the “new man” during the period of Socialism.
Is it possible to be anonymous not with the purpose to hide from responsibility behind a mask, but to feel and become aware beyond the manifestations of time and space, beyond the personal and particular? To be Human regardless of your nationality, faith, history, language, gender, age, education, ideas, views, ideals?

All external events in life are in a way only resemblances of the internal process, synchronous symbolizations. If we understood and integrated them, we would spiritualize the physical. The video installation “Fresh”, consisting of four videos, shows what happened in Bulgaria during the years of transition from socialism to democracy by an authentic portrait of the young character.  Amusing, attractive and cynical, the young man perfectly rules over the language and the signs of one nonofficial system, and that makes him look like fiction character. The model that he strives for is the new hero- a businessman with half-criminal, half-parvenu lifestyle. As he has chosen the way of successful integration in contemporary society he gives and generalizes the image of contemporary consumer culture where freedom is reduced to the right to be a client. Всички външни събития в живота са само подобия на вътрешните процеси, синхронични символизации.Ако ги разберем и интегрираме

OH MY HERO! painting, video Героите на нашето време като регистрирана действителност, която прилича на предопределена. Клишетата, дори и FRESH, владеят представите ни. В страната на "батето" "големият брат" никога не си е тръгвал и около 65%* от "пиленцата"** над 15 години са отишли при него. Все по-трудно различаваме реалността от представата си за нея и така живеем, потопени в манипулацията, наричайки я свобода. Heroes of our time as a registered fact that looks like a predestined . Clichés , even FRESH, command our ideas . In the country of " Bateto " "big brother " never been gone , and about 65 % * of " chicks" ** over 15 years have gone to him. Increasingly difficult distinguish reality from our notion of it and so we live immersed in the manipulation , calling it freedom.
