Hello, this is Vera Hadzhiyska
@verahadzhiyska taking over the Rethinking Eastern Europe account.
This week I’m sharing photographs from an ongoing collaboration with South Korean artist Anbuh
@_anbuh @from_anbuh_to . Together we explore cultural exchange, memory, and shared visual language between Bulgaria and South Korea.
The project is currently on view at GBlue Gallery, Seoul, South Korea, 13–29 March 2026

“Echoed Scenery” is the second chapter of our photographic collaboration. Developed through a live exchange of images during the summer of 2025, the project unfolds as a visual dialogue between Bulgaria and South Korea, shaped by distance, time, and shared attentiveness to the everyday.
Photographs were sent back and forth in real time, allowing each artist to respond intuitively to the other’s imagery, forming a thoughtful conversation between two distant landscapes.
The project traces how places linger - how light, textures, and fleeting moments recur across geographies, carrying memory and emotional weight. Scenes begin to echo one another, not through likeness alone, but through feeling: a shared stillness, a sense of familiarity, a recognition without origin. In these repetitions, scenery becomes less about location and more about resonance.
Echoed Scenery reflects on photography as a space where distance collapses. The work gathers these visual reverberations into a shared terrain, where parallel lives briefly align and landscapes speak to one another across borders.
