The photographic series ’’Forget Your Past’’ reveals 14 of the most impressive communist era monuments in Bulgaria. The exhibition features 38 photographs displayed in diptychs, together with detailed information about the people who designed the structures and their histories. This project is realised within the frame of “Trace” – a platform that brings together artists and architects to consider the integration of communist monuments into the present day urban environment.
