This has been - authored by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nikola Lautliev is a photo book about Plovdiv, for Plovdivian time on the border of West and East.
It does not present the city from advertising materials or tourist cards, but Plovdiv, truly experienced in one life by the author - photographer-artist.
The many essences of Plovdiv are refracted through the memories of childhood, youth, and maturity, which leеds to personal experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
A book about both the visible and the usually invisible things from the streets and neighborhoods, the hills and the river, about the people and about everything that makes a city an icon and a symbol of the eternal.
The images imprinted in the photographic history flow into the general flow of information and are indistinguishable from the other images of reality. How does photography form or change the ideas and vision and perception of the city in which we have lived for generations? These are questions that the book reveals. The premiere of the edition is planned for 2022.
