The title itself is a CDoupble. “копЧЕТАТа” (en. the buttons) contains “ЧЕТАТ”, which means “they are reading“. копЧЕТАТа use the same approach to language as a form of communication and vehicle of content as the series CDoupbles and SyllaBLEndings, but this time in Bulgarian. Different ways of writing, fonts and their attributes uncover possible meanings in various words and word combinations. The words are chosen to construct unexpected links in a space where a bisector is connected to happiness (ъглополовяЩАстие), meaningful to SPEECH (смиСЛОВО), end to HEAVEN (кРАЙ), creating to GIVING (съзДАВАМ ) and many more.
I used the small round seats lined in the square in front of the Plovdiv municipality building as book pages to print on.
Each of the following ca.50 posts will be dedicated to a single piece from the series and accompanied with translation/explanation in English.
