The present exhibition traces the reflections of European artistic trends on Bulgarian post-liberation art. The dialogue between Bulgaria and Europe in the specified period was extremely dynamic, multilateral and continuous.

Helga Paris (1938 – 2024) may not be a well-known name in Bulgaria, yet her work established her as a prominent figure in German photography. Through individual images and photographic series, she created a unique palette of everyday life in East Germany between the late 1960’s and the 1990‘s. Everytning about her photographs seems to come alive, to be breathing and have a palpable presence and this does not go only for people and animals, but also for houses, streets, landscapes and objects.
