Without directly addressing any particular theme, this work is the result of my practice of working with found materials. In my studio, I keep many objects that I have found interesting for one reason or another, and as part of the process, I combine them with each other. At the same time, what occupies my mind while I work inevitably reflects on the work.
I made this particular intervention with the knowledge that it would first be shown in Berlin, the city where I spent eleven years. My memories and attitudes related to this place were the focus of my attention – both as an introspection on a certain period of my life and as a critical look at the sustainability of memory.
I think that's what the work is about: how memory cools down or dissolves in the mind.

Vikenti Komitski (b. 1983, Sofia, Bulgaria) lives and works between Sofia and Berlin. His practice encompasses sculpture, installations, and conceptual interventions, often engaged with the shifting meanings of everyday materials. By reconfiguring trivial and found objects, Komitski creates commentaries on cultural and historical conditions, while questioning conventions of value and perception.
Komitski has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions. Among his more important solo presentations are those at Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin, and Kunsthalle E-Werk, Freiburg, as well as numerous participations in group projects. In 2011, he won the BAZA Award for Contemporary Art. His works are part of private and public collections, including the collection of the Sofia City Art Gallery.
Alongside his artistic practice, Komitski is co-founder of the Punta Gallery in Sofia.
Recently, he has also been working with ceramics.
