The exhibited photographs represent modern version of landscape pictures of castles referring to old topographers such as Janez Vajkard Valvasor, M. G. Vischer and C. Reichert. By using the images of castles Farič shows the fullness of scenic symbiosis, urbanistic compliance and timeless charm of the landscapes which are an invaluable source of displaying local identity of the territory nowadays called Slovenia.
