Luchezar Boyadjiev

Works

The photographs in this series show equestrian statues from all over the world. With the help of digital photo editing, the equestrian statues – predominantly male rulers
and warriors – have been removed. Boyadjiev thus creates a slightly disconcerting impression and challenges observers to ask themselves why public spaces are occupied
by political heroic figures, mostly representations of patriarchal structures of power.
