Antonio Živkovič (1962) graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Ljubljana. Živkovič grew up in the industrial town of Trbovlje, the centre of the mining industry in Slovenia, which significantly influenced his artistic endeavours. In his work he focuses on capturing places, stories and motifs related to industrial towns. His oeuvre is characterised by poetic documentation of abandoned industrial landscapes. He has been working and exhibiting as a photographer since 1989. His body of work encompasses 16 series, which were exhibited at 28 solo shows and included in over 40 group exhibitions, both in Slovenia and abroad. He has exhibited at the Photonic Moments festival with the solo exhibition Traces of the Past (2010) and at the Photon Gallery in Ljubljana with the solo exhibitions Water Towers (2004), Industrial Interiors (2005) and Reconstructions (2007). In 2009, his monograph Black Valley was published, and in the same year the City Art Gallery in Ljubljana presented his retrospective exhibition Photographs 1998–2008. At the Idrija Municipal Museum he presented his exhibition Doors / Last Shift (2017).
