Like Steam on my Skin

As a collateral event of Awards for Contemporary Bulgarian Art in Plovdiv, Dr. Mark Glöde presented a program - video and short film entitled "Like steam on my skin". The video works were selected especially for the space of Banya Starinna. The old Turkish bath, built in the 16th century, is called the "Couple Bath" because it has a male and female section. Archaeological studies indicate that an early medieval church existed not far from this place. The building is used as a center for contemporary art.
