U Kaloyanovom umjetničkom radu igra zauzima središnje mjesto, a to se očituje u njegovom participativnom performansu Void Simulacrum koji je bio na turneji diljem Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Kanade od 2012. do 2016. Osim navedenih izložbi, Kaloyan je ranije ove godine sudjelovao na sajmu umjetnosti Art Eindhoven u Nizozemskoj. Umjetnik je predstavljen u raznim publikacijama, uključujući Art in Brooklyn, Superstition Review i Bedford and Bowery. The Awesome Foundation mu je 2019. dodijelio nagradu Awesome Grant za Sofiju.

Cilj je rada aktivirati potencijal unutar gledatelja da promijeni način na koji umjetnost izgleda i živi. Vitalnost djela ovisi o povezanosti kroz izgovorenu riječ među članovima publike kako bi se stvorila ova igra ili interakcija. Ova sposobnost pojavnog ponašanja za stvaranje igre nešto je što smo izgubili tijekom pandemije. Moon on the Sea poziva publiku na igranje!
The work aims to activate the potential within the viewer to change the way art looks and lives. The work’s vitality is dependent on the connection through spoken word between the audience members to create this game or interaction. This ability of emergent behavior to create a game is something that we lost during the pandemic. Moon on the Sea welcomes the audience to play!
