"Lonely Bulgaria"

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38

This project is created by the sadness of - and my unwillingness to accept - the heavy social reality in my country. It is my personal fight against the poverty, the loneliness, and the depopulation of Bulgaria. Mainly, it is a project about the social situation in the urban areas in the country. It is a project about the people.

Somewhere in the mountain an elderly cow-man is seen. Traditionally in Bulgaria the youngest members of the family walk out the flocks, but today just the elderlies are forced to do this due to lack of young people in the Bulgarian villages. Western Bulgaria. November, 2009.
