It can be seen on 30 June 2018, from 11pm till 5 am, at bar Tell Me (12 Ivan Vazov str., Sofia).

Elí Joteva is a Bulgarian media artist working on the border of art and neurophysics, through new artistic methods and biofeedback technologies.
Her creative practice often intertwines experimental photography with audiovisual installations, performances, digital and sculptural media, aiming to unravel the intangible spheres of human memory and senses. In 2013, she graduated from the South California University of Fine Arts in Los Angeles, and graduated from her Masters degree in Media Art from the University of California Los Angeles in 2018. She has exhibited in solo shows in Europe, North America and Australia.
