The artist’s most renowned project is displayed in a virtual reality exhibit in one of the halls, featuring a monument dedicated to the city of Sofia. The statue, located on a 16-meter high pillar, is shrouded in mystery, but the process of its creation, which took over 9 months in 2000, is showcased through film clips directed by Todor Chapkanov, seen for the first time.
The retrospective exhibition places Chapkanov’s seemingly terrestrial works within the context of an ethereal, metaphysical realm, where the celestial has a distinct structure. This spiritual journey, from limbo to heaven and hell, is guided by a supreme being with a feminine form and essence, “Sophia”, the embodiment of heavenly wisdom.
