• “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.

  • This catalogue accompanied the first comprehensive overview of Božidar Jakac's photography, shown in 2014 at the Museum Modern Art in Ljubljana. Known as a printmaker, the artist sought creative outlets in new media even as a student. Giving prominence to the newly discovered photographs of his from before World War II II, the exhibition followed the chronology of photographs taken by the artist at significant stages of his life: in Prague (1922-23), Novo mesto (c. 1923), Paris (1925), Tunisia (1925), America (1929-1931) and with the partisan forces (1943-1945). It covered the first two decades of Jakac's involvement with photography, when his creative development in this medium was most intense and when he also matured as an artist and as a person. By including a number of his works in other media - drawings, prints, pastels and an oil painting - that represent the same experiential reality as the photographs, the exhibition showed that photography was indeed a new source of insight for the artist.

  • 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.

  • “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".
