This time my kitchen table was joined by Krasimira Butseva - a Bulgarian artist currently based in the UK. Since many years now, Krasimira's body of work deals with notions of Eastern European trauma, history and memory through photography, moving image and writing. During our conversation we discussed her extensive research on the history of gulag across the socialist Bulgaria and the three visual works that came out of it: Operation "Thunder", Balkan mine and Balkan ours.
