Abstract:
Boyadjiev’s work is in an exhibition organised by FACT for ISEA98Revolution and hosted by the Department of Fine Arts.
In Revolution for All, Luchezar parodies the seductiveness of power in his computer-controlled video installation. Starting with an over-exposed projection of a famous photograph of Lenin orating to the revolutionary masses of St. Petersburg, during the October Revolution of 1917/18, the piece captures anonymous faces entering the exhibition space, with visitor 666 finally replacing Lenin himself.
