17 june - 30 july 2019
SLOW SUMMER. SOFT EDGES. DIFFERENT EMOTION.
E-MOTION is an ongoing conceptual series by Ivailo Stanev — a reimagining of Europe’s most iconic summer destinations.
Places long associated with color, movement, and memory — reduced here to a different emotional register.
In La Playa, the beach is stripped of saturation.
These images are not about spectacle, but subtlety.
Abstractions. Blurred borders. A visual quiet.
Shot in black and white, with occasional muted tones, each photograph offers a different kind of emotion — softer, yet more present.
What is removed becomes powerful. What remains, essential.
This is not about realism, but interpretation.
A way of seeing places not as they are, but as they feel.
E-MOTION invites the viewer to slow down. To look beyond the obvious.
And to feel — with less.

“In La Playa, I didn’t try to hold onto the moment — I just let it unfold. That’s when it changed. Not into a memory, not a document. Just a quiet impression, shaped by the light around it.”
