“When I was ten years old, I was playing with fire and I accidentally spilled gasoline on myself. My burns were severe, and I barely survived. It was extremely difficult, but when I became a father, I came to see that it must have been much harder on my parents than on myself. The fear of losing a child is so much greater then the fear of personal perish. However, losing a child is not just a physical thing. Separating from my wife after 21 years together reawakened the fear, and an avalanche of emotions buried me. These images are talking about loss and distance. These images are talking about bonds. These images are talking about photography as a bridge. These images are creating the past. These images speak of the fears and delights of being a father.” Author about photography series presented in this book.

“Wahr genommen” is the title of Branko Lenart’s book, which summarizes his 25-year photographic oeuvre and is divided into various periods in a way suggestive of methodical thought. Lenart´s pun brings perception into proximity with truth and alludes to an aesthetic debate that has been of relevance to photography, on the question whether a technology capable of reproducing reality in even the most minute detail can also produce art with a claim to truthfulness. "Wahr genommen" - a pun involving the double meaning of "perceived" and "accepted as true".

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 -

Roberto Kusterle (1948, Gorizia) has been active in the field of visual art since the 1970s, initially taking up painting and installation work. In the late 1980s, he became interested in photography, which soon became the main medium for his artistic expression. In his work, he focuses on the themes of continuality and connectivity between the human, animal and the natural world. His artistic style encompasses elements of the unusual, bizarre and the surreal. His photographs are not documentary in nature, but are figments of his imagination; the objects, people and the worlds depicted do not exist in reality and typically serve as the basis for his photography. He has been actively exhibiting throughout Italy, Slovenia and internationally since 1988. During this time he has participated in more than 90 solo exhibitions and more than 140 group exhibitions. His most recent solo exhibitions include Habitados at the Museo de la Memoria Històrica Universitaria, Publa, Mexico (2020), the 20e èdition du Festival Europèen de Photo de Nu, Church Sainte-Anne, Arles (2020), Echo, Galleria Weber & Weber, Turin (2021), and series Echo and Cartacei at the Photon Gallery in Ljubljana and Vienna (2023). During his artistic career, he has published 15 monographs. This work is part of a photographic folder or portfolio box with twenty prints by renowned Slovenian photographic artists from the 1970s to the present day, published on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Photon Gallery. - The edition is 100 copies, the 40 x 50 cm photographs are printed on archival paper, the prints are signed and accompanied by certificates.
