Exhibition by slava savova and discussion
26 MAY 2022, 18:00–20:00
Measured drawings is a survey into the vibrant processes, actors and unsolicited objects that simultaneously interact with and co-constitute heritage sites. The project’s main tool is the architectural drawing – a key component of the heritage documentation process, usually portraying monuments as isolated objects. Measured drawings, deploying the same recording technology, reverses the focus of the architectural survey in a discrete attempt to eject the monuments from their perceived status of free-standing volumes.
Slava Savova’s research presentation will be followed by a discussion featuring Ivo Strahilov—a cultural theorist and researcher at the Department of History and Theory of Culture at Sofia University.
Read the conversation at the Journal for Social Vision.
