A
very interesting singular phenomenon in the Bulgarian arts scene
is Rassim Krastev. One of his most important actions so far

The masculine billboard image of
Rassim Krastev' body, the result of extensive bodybuilding,
is spread down on the floor of the lobby to be stepped on and
"defaced" by the flow of customers.

Each
moment of the artist's existence is turning into an object/means
for self-expression - his life is the permanent exhibition of
the project. Rassim is simulating an other-identity, he is masking
himself as ''the other'' in order to place this self at least
within the context of public star representations.

XXL artist, a strapping 25 year old named Rassim Krastev, has
made several video pieces that sarcastically evoke the country's
recent social crises. In them he provides deadpan demonstrations
of the main pleasures that remain for impoverished Bulgarians:
cigarette smoking and glue sniffing.

merge of such a show is quite symptomatic marking a new discourse
for Bulgarian Art. :read
