UniCredit Studio presents an exhibition of photographs of famous Bulgarian actors and actresses taken at the end of 1999.

Contemporary Art Gallery UniCredit Studio presents, until the end of June, an exhibition of photographs of famous Bulgarian actors and actresses that were taken at the end of 1999. The event is part of the Photography Month, whose official bank is UniCredit. The exhibition was inaugurated by the famous photographer Yuriy Treyman, one of the main founders of the Photography Month and Levon Hampartzoumian, CEO of UniCredit Bulbank.

The exhibition “15 years later” will bring the visitors of the UniCredit Studio Gallery together with unforgettable names from the Bulgarian cinema, which were caught by the magic of the lens at the end of the last century. The photographs are in the form of playing cards, and the Bulgarian actors and actresses incarnate Queens, Kings, Jacks and Jokers.

Some of the famous artists that can be seen by the visitors of the Gallery are Stefan Danailov, Stoyanka Mutafova, Astor, Marius Kurkinski, Georgi Kaloyanchev, Nikola Anastasov, Chocho Popyordanov, Rashko Mladenov, Hristo Mutafchiev, Viktor Kalev, Konstantin Kotsev, Naum Shopov, Martina Vachkova and Katerina Evro.

Initially, the photographs were not taken with the intention to be shown afterwards, but eventually the authors decided to do that.

The author of the exhibition “15 years later” is the Bulgarian artist-photographer Ivo Hadzhimishev. Photography is his professional occupation since 1969, and he is the author of more than 20 photo exhibitions and photo essays, presented in different countries worldwide. His first exhibition was presented in 1974 in the halls of the UK Royal Photographic Society. Currently, Ivo Hadzhimishev is in Paris on invitation by the Louvre, said Yuriy Treyman, famous Bulgarian photographer and one of the main founders of the Photography Month.

The exhibition was curated by the Bulgarian artist Teodor Liho, who works in the field of the exquisite and applicable graphics, graphic and spatial design, alternative forms, multimedia and installation.

The admirers of the photographic art can see the exhibition between June 8th and June 30th 2015.
