DETAILS FROM THE OLD SOFIA ARCHITECTURE IN IVO YOVANOVICH’S PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE SERDIKA GALLERY

In the period 22 January – 19 February 2019 Serdika Gallery hosted the photography exhibition #hashtagsofia of Ivo Yovanovich. The details in the urban architecture have always impressed Ivo Yovanovich, as authentic footprints of past times. Therefore, his photos are a direct reference to the fairy-tale spots in Sofia, which remain unnoticed in the everyday rush. He defines his photography as instant photos of the Sofia, which has remained untouched by modernization and urbanization. They show the capital city as a place of tranquillity and European confidence, as a city with beauty that must never be forgotten.

The residents and guests of Sofia were able to see his new photographs, showing beautiful details of the metropolitan architecture. Last year, Ivo Yovanovich’s work was exhibited for the Day of Sofia in the lobby of the Ivan Vazov Theatre.

Ivo Yovanovich was born and now lives in Sofia. He has spent a large part of his life in Belgrade, where he studied cinematography. He has worked as a cameraman and cinematographer at RTS, BBC, WTN, ITV, YUTEL. He has inherited his love of photography from his father – the photographer Dusan Yovanovich.
