Bilyana Petrova
I WAS HERE
It is a contemporary myth that life always moves on. Our minds never cease to wander between different timelines. As a mature student, completing her degree in photography at the University of Cumbria, Bilyana Petrova is also interested in the ambivalent connections to the past. For the first time in six years, she revisits Soho, London where for a brief but defining period she worked at a chain burger restaurant on 15 Frith Street. Through an inclusive series of street imagery, crafted as a pack of postcards, Bilyana builds a narrative which is both retrospective and present. Initially from Bulgaria, she started the project provoked by the subject of migration. Gradually, “I WAS HERE” turns into her love letter to bohemian Soho.
