"... the possibilities for changing the context and meaning of an object, and using it as a separate artistic artefact are explored in the works of artist, such as Pravdoliub Ivanov, Anton Terziev, Samuil Stoyanov, Vikenti Komitski, Peter Tsanev and Zoran Georgiev. In Anton Terziev’s view the object can be anything: from food to old cellphones, to toothbrushes and lace tablecloths, in combination with an ironic title. For his work Brooming of the System (2017), for example, he collects paintbrushes and pencils from his fellow artists Sasho Stoitsov, Deyan Yanev and Samuil Stoyanov, and attaches them to a wooden broomstick." from Postmodernistic incorporation of media and conceptual art. The role of text and object in contemporary art.
