Kalin Serapionov is one of the most accomplished Bulgarian artists working mainly in the field of video art. Having graduated the painting department of the National Art Academy, Sofia in 1995, he was quick to turn his attention to contemporary photography and photo installation. Since 1997 he is creating mainly video films that are presented with remarkable success both here and abroad.
“You get it?” (21’18’’) shows a story based on a traditional concept for intimacy. The two characters, a man and a woman, are talking on their mobile phones for nearly 30 minutes against the backdrop of dynamically changing urban visions. They discuss their intimate relationship – a seemingly serious subject, which is nonetheless devalued by the banality of the dialogue. The language they use is nervous, vernacular and typical for the ambient. The private space is shared – passers-by turn into witnesses of the conversation but they do not pay any attention. The viewer is in a situation of something already experienced, familiar and that’s what makes it possible to look at him/herself from a distance.
