‘So that people can be comfortable’ is an installation by artist Slavena Petkova, whose artistic practice often begins in conversations with people, communities or businesses, and then unfolds in site-specific installations that reflect both socio-cultural realities and shared spaces. The installation at Swimming Pool features text fragments spread across the space, drawn from public discussions held there, critical essays, or Petkova’s previous projects. Another visual layer is created by the Vandalized Art Series, featuring colorful silhouettes of public art—works by artists such as Valentin Starchev, Venelin Shurelov, Sevdalina Kochevska, Veronica Cekova, and Veselin Dimov—that have been destroyed or forcibly removed. For Petkova, the plexiglass forms reveal the fragmented history not only of these monuments, sculptures, and artworks but also of the periods they represent.
