In episode five of our podcast we talk to Albena Limoni and Kostadin Kokalanov, known as Studio FRANK. Their extensive experience includes designing covers and illustrations, creating visual identities and contributing to more experimental art projects. In recent years, they have established themselves as lead designers behind a variety of cultural projects, and their portfolio includes the Literary Encounters and Hidden Letters events, The Artist Speaks podcast and the Bulgarian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023.

In front of Komplekt, Albena and Kostadin talk about their favourite cultural projects; what it's like to be part of the team behind the Bulgarian Pavilion* at the Venice Biennale; experiments in communication design and the increasingly relevant interaction of artificial intelligence with creative disciplines.

* The Bulgarian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale addresses the demographic crisis in our country, the large number of abandoned schools and explores the possibilities for their revival and can be viewed until 26 November 2023.
