COLLECTION 5 THE MALE - A FASHION SPECIAL!

KALTBLUT: Hello Kiril. Welcome to our magazine. How are you?
How is life going for you at the moment?
KIRIL BIKOV: Thank you for hosting me. Life is always interesting and
exciting.
KALTBLUT: We are super happy that you have produced this great
story for the new issue. Can you tell us a little about your
inspiration for the shooting?
KIRIL BIKOV: The inspiration for this story are thoughts about the concept
of time that we created and about us being its servants. We measure
everything with time- life, love, death, until time finally kills us all,
while we are counting it.
KALTBLUT: Can you tell us where you produced it? How long do
you usually need to come up with ideas for stories?
361
KIRIL BIKOV: I took the shoots in fields, parks and lakes in and around
Berlin. I need only a moment to come up with an idea, but until this
moment comes it could be days, weeks or even months in between.
KALTBLUT: We’ve known each other now for some years but I still
feel like I don´t know that much about you. So let´s talk a bit about
you. You were born in Bulgaria. Where exactly? And how did you
grow up?
KIRIL BIKOV: I was born in a town called Burgas which is situated
on the Black Sea. I grew up in a confused society with mixed morals
between communism and illusions for democracy, full of absurdity,
ignorance, naivety, repression and prohibitions. I spent my childhood on
trees and the constructions of blocks that were in the process of being
built at that time, with workers coming from the villages around and starting
a new life with their families in the bigger town. Our games were
very limited, because of the lack of modern technology, we were looking
for dead animals on the street to organize them a funeral or throwing
stones to each other until someone started bleeding.
