OBJECTS, NEON, 2021
Borjana Ventzislavova works with cold light in the object installations We/re : Fruits, vegetables and plants occupy a wall of the exhibition, fennel, banana and a plant bulb are pinned directly on the black wall. Stones, branches and sand are also being displayed in the exhibition space. The artist counteracts these exhibits with neon light tracks that attract (by illuminating) and repel (by making evident the discrepancy between naturalness and artificiality) the objects taken directly from nature.

We The Nature
VIDEO, 2021
HD VIDEO, 27MIN., COLOR, STEREO
We The Nature is a visual plea about the human-nature relationship in which the nature receives an androgynous voice and by acting calmly and emphatically communicates its message on the current climate crisis and addresses the audience directly by insisting on their fundamental rights. At a moment when global warming is not a science fiction and most people feel the effects of climate change in their own lives the nature is calling on us people to change the way we treat the environment and its resources once and for all before it's too late. The appeal to prevent catastrophic global warming is accompanied by impressive landscapes, collected for over 10 years worldwide, showing the beauty and helplessness of iconic, forgotten or unknown places all over USA, Canada, Bulgaria, Greece, Thailand, the Canary Islands, and others.
