The Treadmill series is an ongoing series of video actions in which Mihov confronts his surroundings through interventions involving a treadmill-like object. These performances depict a surreal and absurd interaction with the landscape, reflecting on the Sisyphean struggle inherent in humanity’s relationship with nature — one marked not by acceptance, symbiosis, or balance, but by relentless exploitation, domination, and conflict. The act of moving without advancing becomes a metaphor for the ecological crisis — where efforts to control or conquer nature only reinforces cycles of depletion and exhaustion. The Treadmill series invites reflection on the contradictions of human activity in the Anthropocene.

The titles of the performances hints to the mythical powers that the artist ascribes to the image of the treadmill in the series — How many treadmills does it take to make a landslide and At the beginning of every river stands a treadmill. Suggesting speculative conclusions — such as the idea that all landslides are caused by lunatics (like the artist himself) or that every river springs from the efforts of a dreamer — this symbolism emphasizes the awareness of the power of the human imprint - a recurring motif in Mihov's work.

At the beginning of every river stands a treadmill was created during the International Gabrovtsi ART-NATURE Symposium and is featuring the Treadmill object made from natural materials - tree trunks and branches with a working mechanism for running. The performance marks the tenth anniversary of a flood, which completely changed the river of Enyovitsa, where the performance was made. In recent years, the region has often experienced droughts, and problems with water infrastructure, leaving local residents without water. In the act, the artist tries to turn on the river using the treadmill.

How many treadmills does it take to make a landslide was created and showed at the medienfrische artist residency and festival in the summer of 2024 and features lighter treadmill shaped structure without mechanism and the artist is running on the landslide, using the motion of the falling rocks. in a third video - Lost Treadmill, the artist brings the treadmill object into a gallery space. In which the previous function of the object as a catalyst for natural interventions is taken away, rendering it lost. The video series was presented at Sofia Art Fair 2024.
