In a new exhibition titled Posthuman Urban, four female artists brought together by curator Gergana Minkova, explore the hidden details of human intervention in the urban environment that remain invisible to us because of the overload of information, advertisements, posters, and graffiti. It can be viewed from October 8 to 26 at the Etude Gallery, the organizers said Monday.

The participants are Velichka Minkova, Yoanna Laskova, Mirena Zlateva and Rozina Makaveeva. They present photographs, objects and installations regarding human interventions in the streets, that transform crude forms and create alternatives to the manifestation of artistic sensibility.

"Posthuman Urban puts the hectic everyday life on pause and gives a "zoom in" to everything curious in the city that remains invisible to us, due to its reimagining in a natural landscape. The graffiti, the scattered paint, the crumbling structures, the torn posters, the photographs are a strange language for a kind of communication that does not impress the "urbanized" eye in everyday life, but is now transformed and moved into the gallery space," said the curator. She also noted that the works visualize feelings of destruction and creation at the same time, reminding the audience of the impermanence and transience of the structures humans build.
