A travers les différents media (dessin, sculpture, performance, installation, son) Boryana Petkova explore la contrainte, le contrôle, les limites et le désir. Utilisé a la fois comme un outil et une mesure, le corps est le point central dans son travail.
Elle met souvent les éléments en lutte ou en synchronie pour analyser l’espace de la limite – la ligne de contact qui sépare deux parties différentes. Cet espace où se rencontrent différents éléments est au centre de sa recherche. Elle imagine et crée des liens – réels et imaginaires voire une symbiose, dans la dissymétrie et la dissimilarité.

She often puts the elements in struggle or in synchrony to analyze the space of the boundary – the line of contact that separates two different parties. This space where different elements meet is at the center of his research. She imagines and creates links – real and imaginary or even a symbiosis, in dissymmetry and dissimilarity.
