Hello! My name is Neno Belchev and I’m very happy that my video “La Fauna Mallorquina” will participate in the exhibition “Depictions of Living - Art and Activism” during January in London. Thank you, Roshi and Samuel!
The topic: I cannot say that this is the only topic, on which I work, but in my perspective, the Climate change is very important topic, because it affects all the nations across the globe: For example the pollution in the World Ocean influences not only water but the entire planet Earth and it is responsibility of all the people. As some politicians try to ignore these issues, it is very important this problem to be constantly exposed in front of the society eyes.
About my work in general: I hope that I have no influence in my work, which comes from another artist or at least I try not to have influence, but especially for the video “La Fauna Mallorquina” I have to say that it reminds me the work of Oleg Kulik, a Russian artist, who was very famous in the 90-es of the previous century. But unlike him, my approach is more poetic and has more humour. In this particular video, I putted myself in the position of the animals, which are losing their natural habitats.
Currently, I work on a photo-project, which deals with the pollution issues, but it is still a project in progress.
Wish you a happy new 2020 year and successful exhibition! Thank you!
