"Terziev seek the dimensions of the contemporary photographic iconography, but he focuses not so much on the framing, as on the building on of a citationality, which consistently connects stereotypical attitudes, images and signs. This citationality takes away the illusions of penetrating the inner world by bringing out such states that are in fact external, produced and build over the image of the man."
