The core of the project “That Thing” is the form of monologue. The stories of the respondents acquired the importance of personal statements, manifests and even confessions. The scenario is the same for all - they sit in their favorite chair outside on the street in urban environments and have exactly five minutes to present their views on the Bulgarian scene - what defines it, what processes are relevant to it, what is appreciated or not, what is their personal relation to and position in this cultural space, etc. There are two important conditions. The first is that each participant should use no more or no less than the specified 5 min. If his/her story ends earlier, he/she remains sitting on the chair until the 5 minutes are over. The second condition is not to mention expressions like, “the Bulgarian contemporary art scene”.
