BIOGRAPHY
Nikola Mihov was born in 1982, in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2002 he moves to Paris, France where he develops his passion for the photography. In 2005 he presents his first solo exhibition in the “Bulgarian Culture Center” in Paris, followed by participation in numerous collective exhibitions around Europe.

In March and April 2006 he had photographed the massive demonstration against the “CPE” law project in Paris. His photos of the protest are published in the on-line edition of “Le Monde”, in the “PHOTO” magazine, Paris and by the Bulgarian press. These events are followed by the exhibition “Anti CPE Riots in Paris” shown in Sofa and Varna in Bulgaria and in Thessalonica, Greece.”,. In 2007 Nikola Mihov wins the 1st prize for documentary photography of the “Bulgarian Photo Academy” contest and the Award of the International biennial “Phodar“.

During the same year Nikola Mihov creates in collaboration with Deyan Parouchev, the short film “Individual Destiny-Collective Destination” based on 9000 pictures, exploring some cinematographic technique mixed with photography. The film wins the prize of the public in Sofia and is included in the official selection of the “Pleiades Film Festival” and Paris Tout Court Festival.

1 year of Digital Eyes Gallery!

2008-09-04T03:24:00.003+02:00

Digital Eyes Gallery will turn one year this month. And one year in Second Life is like 10 years of real life... So many artists discoveries and so many human adventures...
The exhibition by i7o Zhu is moving permanently to AVZ at OnCom. This artist inspired the building of this gallery so his art has to stay in the grid.
Next exhibition is by my real life photography partner from Sofia Bulgaria. We shoot together for 4 years mostly during techno parties, making a friendly photographers battle of who will have the best image.
I will present him properly in my next post, but as usual there will be a launch party and the dress code will be linked to the theme of the exhibition : "demonstration, cops, army"
Stay tuned and join in-world the group Digital Eyes Gallery to celebrate with us the 1 year of the gallery!

Morgan Kincess - Underground Tunnels

2007-11-13T22:35:00.000+01:00

Morgan Kincess, exhibition "Underground Tunnels"

Taken in Paris and London, this serie shows what the public can't usually see in the subway. In Paris it's totally forbidden to go with the driver : that's why Morgan does it. It's also obviously forbidden to go on tracks, but the images are so worth it!

The following picture presented was almost going to be the end of the camera and the photographer. Good adrenaline for unique shots.
