This catalog accompanied the exhibition at the Museum Modern Art in Ljubljana in 2010. For Gojmir Anton Kos, photography was an amateur interest that he pursued from the late 1920s until the end of his life, most intensively in the 1930s. Initially he used a glass plate camera, and from the early 1930s onward a Leica. Most of his surviving photographic oeuvre thus consists of black-and-white Leica shots; there are also some color slides from the 1960s. Kos initially photographed his paintings and some exhibitions in which he participated, as well as interiors outfitted with furniture of his own design. The latter stand out for their visual refinement and were given a special place in the exhibition, as they are rare visual documents of Kos' work in the field of interior design.

Lara Štrumej / Geometry of Solitude: Some Modernist Works From the National Photography Collection at Moderna Galerija Among the numerous original languages employed by the individual photographers whose work features in Moderna galerija's photography collection, our attention was drawn to shots that reflect the creative responses of photographers either to an order existing in the external phenomenal world or to individual relationships arising in the urban world that establish a new conceptual order in created images when photographically transposed. The works featured in the catalogue were not created at one time — they span a period from the mid-1950s to the late 20th century. But apart from iconographic similarities and an austere narrative that stems from the modernist desire of the artists to retreat from noisy everyday life to the aesthetics of the silence of photographic images, they are marked by an exploration of the semantic issues of photography as a self-sufficient artistic entity. In every one of these images, the dialogue with the visible world is in its own special way removed from the dynamics of social life and takes place with respect to space and the state of things within this space. The perceived situations where man is present only through his absence are presented in ways not always new, since the artists built on the achievements of New Objectivity, a period that is regarded as the beginning of Slovene modernist photography.

‘Until Death Do Us Part’ series is the result of two-year photographic project on weddings in Europe, with an accent on cross-cultural couples and certain cultural meanderings, the product of the constant shifts of borders, migrations, globalisation and acculturation. The project represents a visual investigation of the phenomenon of the wedding ceremony and party as one of the crucial anthropological genres, which has for thousands of years played a pivotal role in the ritual life of the human race. In essence, this tradition has remained largely unchanged, despite newly emerging trends and cultural, racial or gender traversing, and in spite of the fact that marriage as an institution is no longer regarded as something so necessarily desirable. Photographs from this series examine the phenomenon of marriage and of wedding ceremony across Europe, often represented as a glamorous pagan ritual paying great attention towards certain fragments of national tradition and folklore of newlyweds and their families. Despite her straight documentary approach and anthropological aims Katarina Radović captures incidental and secondary motifs that often produce metaphysically stressed images with ability to confuse the perception of the seen.

25 years after the end of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somnambulism discusses the importance of culture and urban fabric in the construction-destruction-reconstruction of the country. In four different stages, the reader will experience a metaphorical wandering of night and day walking between the old and new infrastructures, buildings and monuments. Firstly, in a once-upon-a-time journey between Sarajevo and Belgrade, historical events unfold the Yugoslav intercultural nation born after the World War II. Then, landscapes still offended by the tragedy of the war and of the urbicide, reveal the collective amnesia of the 1992–1995 conflict. In the last two stages, the dualism between division and unity betoken the contemporary terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina, marked both by the visible presence of religious monuments and by landscapes which uprise to avoid the oblivion of the multicultural common past. With her photographs, Lara Ciarabellini is able to show the change in the web of intertwining layers of the Yugoslav and Bosnian collective memory in the last decades, adding a new and personal point of view in the analysis of the aftermath of the war. Poems, texts, and archival pictures accompany her and reader's journey. Author: Lara Ciarabellini Texts: Š.Daupović Fiko, C. Elia, E. Forto, A Klemenčić, P. Lowe, S. Milio, T. Novosel, D.

Branko Cvetkovic with his photographic documentary of spatial reality entitled En Face maintains a standard of rigorous objectivity in his depictions which brings added value to his photography. His work is strictly systematic, using framing procedure which invariably starts from the same focal point, thus as a rule, his works are symmetrical. Cvetkovic finds formal principles of composition of primary importance, be it through constructive or deconstructive logic. He is particularly interested in unveiling the symbolic meaning behind the buildings in relation to their urban history, whilst the selection of motifs reflects his preoccupation with issues of urban architecture.
