Cold Memories
What does it mean to live away from home? What is home? Where does one belong? Bulgarian born photographer and visual artist Denitsa Toshirova combines digital and analogue photography diptychs to explore the idea of a new beginning in a foreign land
photography & words – denitsa toshirova
location – berlin, germany
Bulgarian born photographer and visual artist Denitsa Toshirova lives between two countries at opposite sides of Europe. In her photographic series Cold Memories, she utilises this existence to explore the idea of a new beginning in a foreign land. What does it mean to live away from home? What is home? Where does one belong? Combining digital and analogue photography shot between Edinburgh and Bulgaria, the diptychs which form the series explore both the alienation and reconnection from and with the past.
A note: Each month, we update our site as part of our efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our digital estate. The global emissions from the digital industry are on a par with those from the aviation industry, at almost 2% of total global emissions. What’s worse, this is increasing year on year. In an effort to lessen our impact, each month we compress and archive previous features and update our site with new content. Throughout the month, our current features are available to all to enjoy; our full digital archive is accessible to boom saloon members, in thanks for their support to use creativity to inspire and empower those facing challenges.
