Mixed media installation at Rocade car park
Bulgarian artist Dr Galentin Gatev followed for several months the road trip of four priests across a region near Sofia. The journey, as well as the various problems caused by the technical failures of the vehicles, were filmed for this installation and projected in an underground car park together with a mannequin of a perpetually rotating priest seated on a motorcycle.
