Jošt Dolinšek (1997, Slovenia) is a visual artist primarily interested in art photography. In 2020, he earned a BA in psychology at the University of Ljubljana. Currently he is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he studies photography at HDK-Valand. Dolinšek mainly works on long-term projects, exploring the visual experience of the environment and his relation to it. He is interested in various approaches to photographic art, combining it with other media, such as sound and installation. In 2018, he exhibited and published his series In Between under the If Slovenia Were project. Dolinšek was one of the selected artists in the 3rd cycle of Parallel Photo Platform. Among others, he has exhibited his works in Robert Capa Center in Budapest (HU), Photon Gallery in Ljubljana (SI) and Vienna (AT), at Voies-off Festival in Arles (FR), Charta Festival in Rome (IT) and Landskrona Foto Festival (SE). In 2021, he presented his series To Move the Sun and Earth Away in the Curiosa sector at ParisPhoto (FR).
In his recent and in-progress works, he inquires into the topics of perception, plurality of positions, permanence and entropy using a non-linear approach to photographic narrative. Working with somatic and affective possibilities of images, he is interested in creating affectively charged spaces and experiences.
