The Tensionfield project gives an overview on the current condition and status of art photography in Central Europe after the developments in the 1980s and 1990s. The majority of the artist here emerged from camera club scenes in early 1980s and therefore their roots spring from local photographic traditions that shaped their sensibility for local socio-political circumstances during the transitional period; however, at the same time, they remain open to trends in world of contemporary photography and art.

NEW!Tjaša Kučič (1999) is a younger generation photographer, a third-year student of visual communications at the Faculty of Design. Besides photography, she is also engaged in graphic design. Her motifs come from the world of surfing, as it is both inspiring and familiar to her. She currently lives in Slovenia, while at the same time doing most of her work abroad. “Surfing has been around for hundreds of years, but only few find in it a true passion because it requires a very particular life-style and huge commitment. With my photographs, I want to trigger emotions in a viewer so that they can, in a way, relate to this experience and learn a little something about surf culture.” The photograph is printed on archival matt 290g paper. The entire edition is printed with a white border in the dimension 40 x 50 cm (including the white border). With each print, you will receive a certificate of authenticity.

Tomo Brejc (1975) studied at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, where he graduated with his thesis The End of Photography – or Just a Chance to Rethink European Visual Culture. In recent years, he has been active in the fields of artistic production, fashion photography and theoretical writing. Between 1999 and 2003, he was a member of the editorial board of the magazine Fotografija, where he also published several professional articles on the theory of photography and in the field of photographic production. He collaborates with many national and international publications and agencies. He is one of Slovenia’s most internationally successful photographers. Brejc has developed his own distinctive style over the years, encompassing his extensive knowledge of both the photographic medium and art history. A graduate in philosophy and cultural sociology, Tomo Brejc often uses principles from philosophy and cultural theory in his work. His photographs are therefore conceptually profound and well thought out, while at the same time intuitively created and supported by a high level of technical execution. His last solo exhibition in Slovenia was Unfinished Landscapes at Photon Gallery (2022).

NEW!Exhibiton catalogue of the project UNADAPTED OBSERVERS. Outsiders and Outlaws. During socialism, the status, function, and aesthetics of photography were remarkably similar across all former socialist countries. In the Central European countries that were part of the socialist bloc, there was also a unique collective organisation in the field of photography, as most photographers worked within the system of photography clubs. However, some photographers have worked outside the system and independently, some because of a particular approach to their work, others because of censorship or even a ban on their work. The exhibition project »Outsiders and Outlaws« focuses on those photographers who stood out from the mainstream of photographic production in the former socialist countries. Participating artists: Andrzej Baturo (PL), Vladimir Birgus (CZ), Stane Jagodič (SI), Gábor Kerekes (HU), Ladislav Postupa (CZ), Rudolf Sikora (SK), Tone Stojko (SI), János Szász (HU), Bálint Szombathy (HU), Jindrich Streit (CZ) Publisher and producer: Photon - Center za sodobno fotografijo Curator, editor and author of the text: Dejan Sluga Design: Jure Legac Proof-reading: Deja Bečaj Printing: Birografika Bori Edition: 200 -

NEW!Valerija Intihar (1995) graduated from the Department of Textile and Fashion Design and has been working as an independent fashion and textile designer in Ljubljana for several years. She is currently completing her studies at the Department of Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design under the mentorship of Peter Rauch. In analogue and digital techniques, she investigates the positions of objects in the modern materially saturated world, through documentation of processes and sculptural installations, as well as manipulations in darkroom procedures. She participated in several group exhibitions, among others as part of Gallery 7:069 and ALUO Ponjava. In February of this year, she independently presented the photographic series Low res images in Gallery P74. In the series Weight of an Empty Area, the artist documents traces of absent objects and treats them as her own motifs. She potentiates them in the form of sculptures and interventions in the landscape, which she emphasizes with the "burn and dodge" technique in the darkroom. The photographic project straddles the border between sculpture and performance and ponders the land art tradition of the 1970s.The photograph is printed on archival matt 290g paper.
