Famous British photographers Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou will present their works for the first time in Sofia. The exhibition is entitled "The Long Road" and was created specifically for the Synthesis Gallery space. The authors will be personally present at the opening, which will take place on May 12.
The photographs included in the exhibition trace more than 30 years of the journey that Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou have taken together, starting from their student years in London, through documentary series shot in Great Britain, Italy and India, their work in Kosovo, Albania and Serbia during the Kosovo war. Their works from various countries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, including Bulgaria, as well as their latest projects in the USA, are also included.
These days, the two photographers split their time between the English town of Folkestone and the Bulgarian village of Mandritsa.
