Back to Black in Photographic Museum Maribor

The exhibition opening: Thursday, 30 March at 7 pm at the Photographic Museum in Maribor.

From Thursday, 30 April, the Photographic Museum in Maribor will host the exhibition Back to Black: Contemporary Analog and Hybrid Photography, which premiered at the Photon Gallery last April, and was then presented in Vienna as part of the Rotlicht Festival.

International group exhibition, participating artists:
Balázs Deim, Alessandra D’intino, Jošt Dolinšek, Lena Feitl, Elí Joteva, Reiner Riedler, Peter Koštrun, Roberto Kusterle, Borut Peterlin, Eva Petrič, Herman Pivk.

The Back to Black project is set up as an international project in which Photon joins the global trend of reviving interest in black-and-white, analog and the so-called hybrid photography, and especially in contemporary, creative use of old photographic techniques. In modern times, these are often associated with the use of contemporary technologies, which expand the creative field of application and bring original solutions even in today’s mostly digital time. This research is in terms of content focused on representing different approaches of contemporary artists to the medium which was not long ago predicted to go extinct.
