 Project
background
It was in 1999, when OPNN, a group of young artists in cooperation
with USIT COLOURS - an agency for student and youth travel, started
the organization of the so called “Sky Parties” –
events, which aim at presenting Bulgarian visual arts and music,
in different places around the city of Sofia. The Sky Parties soon
became very popular and favorite among the young people in the capital.
This idea was further developed to produce a club-exposition of
30 photos by Boris Missirkov and Gueorgi Bogdanov, which were the
portraits of some of those young people, who had visited the series
of Sky Parties. The Millenium Calendar “ID 2000”,
consisting of 12 of the best photos, was an expression of the spirit
and identity of Bulgaria’s young generation, standing at
the threshold of the new millenium.
These portraits formed later on a unique party-club exhibition
as well as street exhibition
on the huge windows displays of Usit Colours - Sofia, Bulgaria.
One of the photographs became a cover of European Photography
Magazine.
