“Neurology of Being” is a concomitant exhibition to the 34th edition of “The month of photography” which is being held every year under the endorsement of the Central European House of Photography in Bratislava and Vienna. The author, Rosen Kalpachki, is a famous Bulgarian doctor who has been doing mono photography ever since he was a student. He shares that the square format that he uses, embodies his ways of perception and expression because of the resemblance it has to the opening that the surgeon sees when he is leaning over the operating table. “I am an amateur photographer who loves “making” photos the authentic way – with an analog camera, copying them myself in a dark room at home. Photos that came from film bring a different feeling precisely because of the process of preparing, planning, waiting and the result which is often accompanied by a surprise. Being close to the photo materials also brings me great pleasure. But I’m getting more and more convinced that the act of taking the picture itself is most important to me. Everything that comes after pressing the shutter can wait.”, - shares Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosen Kalpachki.
