Slushalkata Project explores how personal stories can become a bridge between strangers through interactive art installations. It combines familiar analogue objects with newly implemented technology, creating a link between the present and a nostalgic past. Through sound, voice, and personal storytelling, it invites the audience to listen to intimate thoughts, memories, and experiences that often remain unseen or unspoken. 

​

Rather than functioning through one fixed format, Slushalkata Project can take different forms depending on the specific installation, object, or topic being presented. Its core idea is to create a direct and personal encounter between the visitor and another human experience, where listening becomes an active and emotional act. 

​

The first installation created under Slushalkata Project is Between Two Worlds, and it was presented as part of the 30th edition of the Week of Contemporary Art in Plovdiv, at Banya Starinna, under the festival theme For a Better World. The installation used nine modified telephone receivers as listening devices, each carrying a different recorded first-person story. The receivers were suspended from the ceiling on cables, which also transmitted the sound signal. As visitors moved through the space, they could pick up each receiver and enter a private listening moment, discovering one personal narrative at a time. 

​

Between Two Worlds explores migration, displacement, and the feeling of living between a homeland and a new place called home. The stories reflect on identity, belonging, cultural transition, and the emotional tension of feeling like a foreigner everywhere. Through these personal narratives, the installation looks at alienation not only as a result of distance, but as a broader condition shaped by contemporary society.
