Yanitsa Radeva

This article explores contemporary practices from the period 2000–2025 that blur the boundaries between literature and the visual arts. It attempts to reconstruct groupings and models of literary presentation that involve the collaboration of literature with other art forms such as performance, video, and photography. The text focuses on several art collectives and specific events, as well as on the visual projects, the calligraphic paintings and others. Through these examples, the article aims to trace how new media and artistic strategies reorganize the literary space and reshape the ways in which literature is perceived, presented, and experienced.

Keywords: visual poetry, performance, music, calligraphy, photography, festival, art group
