Scrap Opera by Daniela Kostova (for the Sofia Queer Forum 2015 – Sweet union, 3-19 December 2015)

Scrap Opera

This series of photographs depicts a couple of squatters in a ruined Victorian mansion. An open-air kitchen is a stage for obscure performance: a pregnant woman with horns, a man in a dirty morning robe and sleeping mask, old chicken bones garnishing a fine table setting, etc. Pagan tradition flavors this pre-apocalyptic American opera. Are these people living out a cruel fantasy with other people’s garbage? Are we witnessing choice or necessity?
