In the basement of an antique store in Sozopol I found an old advertisement and some postcards with roses. Industrial Import was born. The background is from a Russian magazine of 1959. A friend thinks it’s the skyline of St. Petersburg.

Walking the streets of Sofia I saw the poster covered walls and knew I had to do something with it. I took some paper of the walls and carried it around.
