Ralitsa Angelova


Angelova’s work explores the possible socio-behavioural and psychological issues of secret keeping. It is based on the outcome of a social experiment, in the sense that it is constructed on trust between herself and all of the volunteers who donated their confessions, as without them the work would have been impossible to create. Through offering such personal information, the anonymous participants gave Angelova the opportunity to put together something utterly unique. Each confession gives an insightful look into what the individual may have otherwise kept secret. The piece explores the internal struggles within each of us when faced with the keeping and disclosure of secrets through symbolic imagery featuring a scene of protective embrace and violent consuming.
