To coincide with the release of his new book with GOST, Vladimir Karamazov will exhibit works from the series For the Grace of God in his home country of Bulgaria.
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1979, Vladimir Karamazov came to photography in 2019 after a highly regarded career as an actor across cinema, television, and the stage. For the Grace of God is his inaugural photobook and it takes us into the notorious Belene Prison, located in northern Bulgaria on the border with Romania; the most heavily guarded facility of its type in the country. Deliberately situated on an island, escape is near impossible - and for that reason it has the largest number of people serving life sentences for murder in any Bulgarian prison.
The exhibition takes place from July 1 — September 1 at the National Exhibition of Arts and Crafts – Oreshak (256 Stara Planina Street), Bulgaria. Visit here for more info.
