Camp crooner Ivo Dimchev [Bulgaria] skips over the boundary between artist and audience, gathering listeners around him for an evening of song and selfie-snapping. The concept is simple: no stage, no hierarchy, and no performance from Dimchev unless people are taking selfies with him.
Ivo Dimchev works—and plays—at the intersection of performance art, choreography, theatre, images and music. The Bulgarian artist has created over 30 productions, and his oeuvre is a wild and vivacious mixture of forms. Dimchev has toured the globe and recorded three albums of delicious pop music.
Selfie is less about me, it's more about us." —Ivo Dimchev
