An anthropomorphic figure, 12 meters high, made of 56 LED screens, will replace the Bronze House on the site of Georgi Dimitrov's former maze in Sofia. The project was approved by the Creative Council of the Sofia Municipality and was selected from 18 others. The plan of the municipality is "One Person" to be installed by the end of the year until the summer, "Bilyana Genova, head of the Culture Directorate, told Dnevnik.


Plamen Deyanov's "Bronze House" was installed at the grounds of the City Garden in front of the Palace in June and was dismantled in early February.

The project will cost the municipality 81,100 leva, and the money is provided under the "Outside" program with an annual budget of 100,000 leva.
