Photos from New York's "In Transit" subway end up in downtown Sofia

Photo: Delyan Valchev

Exactly one year ago we told you about the photography project "In Transit" by Bulgarian Delyan Valchev. The exhibition includes 30 photos taken in the New York subway from 2014 until the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, which were shown for the first time in the City Art Gallery "Boris Georgiev" in Varna in 2021.

Now, Valchev's photographs will be exhibited at Synthesis Gallery in Sofia until September 10.  The photographs explore the alienation that is gradually becoming a characteristic of everyday life for city dwellers.

"The subway in New York is a gathering place because perhaps 90 percent of its citizens travel on it, regardless of their social, financial or other status," the photographer told Radio Bulgaria.
