The photobook ‘In Belief Is Power’ is the result of an arduous project by Bulgarian artist Hristina Tasheva. Set in her country’s Strandzha mountains - a border region connecting southeastern Bulgaria to the European part of Turkey - the book combines found black-and-white images with Tasheva’s color photographs, drawings and text fragments to engage with questions like “What provokes the fear of foreigners? What exactly forms the ‘Bulgarian’ identity? Refraining from clearly delineated chapters, ‘In Belief Is Power’ unfolds in loosely arranged sections, allowing for multiple, at once converging and conflicting, narratives of identity and ideology, traditions, and propaganda to unfold.
