The group show Different Worlds: Young Contemporary Photography displays works of ten young and emerging Slovenian photographers who have been selected through the open call organised by Photon. The exhibition thus presents their recent works and thereby provides an insight into latest tendencies of local contemporary photography. Young Contemporary Photography is thus an initiative that encourages, evaluates and promotes developments of young, non-yet-established, and emerging generations of artists and photographers, up to 35 years of age. In its second edition the contest titled Different Worlds follows the idea of “creativity and diversity”.
The exhibition is divided between two adjacent venues; Photon – Centre for Contemporary Photography and Kino Šiška. At Photon works of three award-winning artists are displayed while in Kamera / Kino Šiška works of remaining seven shortlisted photographers are exhibited. The artists have been selected by international jury: Iva Prosoli (Zagreb City Museum, Croatia), Dejan Sluga (Photon – Centre for Contemporary Photography, Ljubljana, Slovenia) and Filip Vančo (Photoport Gallery, Bratislava, Slovakia).
