“Boris Missirkov analyzes Americanization phenomena which are uncritically consumed. The photographs of different living rooms at a certain time show the same soap opera appearing on every TV. By demonstrating the uniformity of Sofia life among the older generation, the artist draws attention to the fact that global phenomena have penetrated all levels of Bulgarian reality without being adequately or consciously perceived.”
