The story is simple. We follow the protagonist, natural light, in three chapters, as it slowly unveils and deglamourizes. In the first chapter, protruding slants of light are unravelling miniscule details and creating mystical, dream-like images. We could be anywhere. Then, Lumen takes us into the tangible, but is entirely subordinate to geometry. Only in the third chapter is the exhausted body of a former maternity hospital illuminated, the walls stripped off to recognition. It is unforgiving, unmasking the misery, but bringing hope, light and warmth at the same time.

NEW!A Manual for Silence is a photo-text booklet based on an ongoing sequence of photographs bearing the same title. Images may tell the narrative, the testimony, via its absence — the vacancy of the subject. Text conjures images by beleaguering the unspeakable — pasting words and sentences onto the invisible form until it reveals a wireframe of the object.
Perhaps there — behind this impediment, the existence of it all is to be found. In the failed correspondence of mumbling planes and shards of breached conventions. In the imminent erosion of understanding, solely a silent touch can soothe.

Ana Bilankov's first comprehensive monograph and at the same time an artist's book is structurally conceived as a kind of experimental film, a non-chronological 'storyboard' of her conceptual art works made in the media photography, video / experimental film, installation and text in the last twenty years. Structured into ten chapters, the book raises a series of questions on the subject of poetics/politics of dislocation, migration, nomadism, individual and collective memory and construction of identity within "in-between-ness". Many projects have emerged in diverse geographic contexts thanks to several international residencies in different European cities, Moscow and New York, or in both of the author's hometowns, Zagreb and Berlin. The book includes rich photographic and video material as well as the texts written by the author and also two theoretical essays: "Some Future Film" by the art theorist Leonida Kovač and "The Poetry and Revolution of Ana Bilankov" by the film theorist and philosopher Marijan Krivak, and has been designed by Hamper studio Zagreb.

SALE!A tribute to the 100th Anniversary of Bauhaus What is the significance of photo collage in these modern times saturated with fragmented visual images and the ubiquitous "special effects" of new technologies? Has this artistic process preserved its aesthetic relevance from the time of its creation about 100 years ago? An empirical view across the landscape of contemporary art provides a feeling that the interest in a collage in contemporary art has been growing again. Particularly in photography, works have been created that re-enforce the collage principle in the wider original contemporary practice. Project A New Vision of Debris is trying to answer the initial questions by presenting ten positions of regionally established female and male artists. At the same time, the project is an homage to the fabled Bauhaus school, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of its establishment this year, primarily to some of its protagonists who have taught photography and have established photo collage as a new and legitimate artistic practice. Authors of the text: Dejan Sluga, Katarina Manojlović Curator: Dejan Sluga Participating artists: Alexandra Baumgartner, Caroline Heider, Herbert Hofer, Marko Lipuš, Lilly Lulay, Iosif Kiraly, Kensuke Koike, Zuzana Pustaiova, Anita Witek, Metka Zupančič Editor: Špela Pipan Publisher and producer: Galerija Photon Year : 2018 Paperback, 35 pages Language: english, slovenian -
