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.

Bertok deals with the transience of the human body also in his latest series of works, this time, however, from a slightly different perspective. He introduces us to a tortured and exhausted, weary body, bearing the consequences of extreme physical and psychological experience of giving up food. Again, Bertok does not question the personal, psychological, or social motives and circumstances that brought the subject of his depiction into such a state. The artist compares the experience of anorexia with other borderline experiences, be it the so-called SM practices or the survival in the extreme conditions of concentration camps, which he has dealt with in his former projects and photographic series. Thus, the purpose of the project is not to "photodocument" the phenomenon of a disorder or disease, but rather to question the very nature of our physicality, our relationship to the emaciated body and the pain that we presuppose or feel when looking at the proximity of death.

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!Catalogue of the international curated exhibition Borderlines. The exhibition raises the question of borders – both physical and symbolic – in a specific local, as well as in a broader European context, where political conflicts, wars, migrations and other social transformations have once again brought the concept of borders to the forefront. The border appears as a physical dividing line, but also as a social, psychological and cultural construct that determines the relationships between “us” and “them”, normal and different, safe and threatening. The project presents artists from Slovenia, Italy and Austria, whose works, through contemporary photography, thematize different understandings of borderland in various ways. The exhibition combines documentary, conceptual and performative approaches and brings diverse insights into contemporary European photography. Its added value lies in the fact that it does not only thematize borders in a geographical sense, but also places them in broader contexts of social, psychological and identity relations. In this way, the Borderlines / Borderlands project creates a space for dialogue about our common future at a time when Europe is facing ever-new forms of division.
