︎︎︎HELLO LENIN


КАМЕН СТОЯНОВ, 2003

5 ФОТОГРАФИИ


The series of photographs Hello Lenin is a documentation of a performance I did in my hometown Rousse in Bulgaria in the summer of 2003. You see me climbing on an empty pedestal, whose statue had been  removed 13 years ago. Formerly, the statue of Lenin was placed here. I wanted to demonstrate how the statue had disappeared but not its ideology; it has just been replaced by a new one.
