Reading Bulgarian (2010)
The artist returned to her first nursery school nearly twenty years after having left Bulgaria and struggles for 20 minutes to read a fairy tale for two of the current pupils aged 4 and 5 years old.
Many thanks to Letoslava and Lychia for their patience, to Maria Dimitrova at the Zheravna kindergarden school for permission to film and to my grandmother, Baba Lutchka, for arranging introductions and enduring my embarrassingly slow reading.
