Sixty artists. 198 pigeons, 13 cats, 19 dogs, 7 deer, 6 bicycles, 3 swimming pools, 11 trams, 2 strollers, 21 grandmothers, 1 snow angel, 9 spoons, 2 guitars, 1 washing machine, 3 laptops, 4 bottles of sauerkraut juice, 2 lions, 1 camel (yes, just one), 1 copy of Time Shelter (the novel), and 1 city: Sofia. A city of mountains and cobblestones, of trams and memories, of people, pigeons, and stories that seem to find you on their own. A place that’s old and new, loud and gentle, a little absurd and always dear, all at once. How do you paint a city like that? With lots of love, a touch of humour, and an eye that can spot magic in even the most ordinary places. This book brings together sixty contemporary Bulgarian artists who, over the past four years, created their own “covers” for an imaginary magazine called The Sofianer - inspired by the legendary covers of The New Yorker. Inside, you’ll find 72 new and selected artworks, as well as two essays by Georgi Gospodinov and Konstantin Valkov. The Sofianer is already part of our city and is here to stay - a mirror held up to the life we all share.
