The Royal Station Kazichene Sofia was a beautiful building in its best days and surely very meaningful for the connection of Bulgaria with other European countries represented by Royal Families or Prime Ministers and Presidents.

To give the abandoned historical building a temporary protected status as part of the Water Tower Art Fest 2013 Jan Doms and Olga Doreva ‘closed’ the windows and the door of the main entrance with a flexibel construction of glass. The result was a temporary recovery of the facade of the monument and a renewed relationship to the surrounding landscape and the railway tracks by its reflections.

According to this glass installation Jan Doms created also a soundpiece which brought history and possible future of the royal station alive during the presentation ‘one day action’ June 23 2013.
