“Ko sem imel deset let, sem se opekel z bencinom. Opekline so bile tako hude, da sem komaj preživel. Bilo je izjemno težko, a šele, ko sem postal oče, sem spoznal, da je moralo biti mojim staršem še mnogo huje! Spoznal sem, da je strah pred izgubo otroka mnogo hujši od strahu pred lastim koncem. Z ženo sva se po 21 letih razšla in te podobe govorijo o izgubi in oddaljenosti. Te podobe govorijo o navezanosti. Te podobe govorijo o fotografiji kot mostu. Te podobe ustvarjajo preteklost. Te podobe govorijo o radostih in bolečinah biti oče”, pravi avtor o svoji novi fotografski seriji, ki je predstavljena v knjigi.

To je knjižni »hibrid«, ki dokumentira glavne umetniške instalacije Eve Petrič v mediju čipkastega asemblaža iz obdobja od 2012 do 2018. Za razliko od običajnih umetniških katalogov je v tej knjigi ob slikovnih predstavitvah in strokovnih ocenah poudarek tudi na grafično inovativno oblikovanem besedilu avtorice, ki predstavlja idejo projekta. Knjiga torej sega tudi v ozadje nastanka instalacij, v zakulisje, kjer se rojevajo ideje, in ga prikazuje na enkraten in zanimiv način, skozi vokalizirane misli, poezijo in novo serijo podob. Knjiga poleg instalacij iz starih, zavrženih ali poklonjenih ročno izdelanih čipk vsebuje povsem nov cikel fotografij in poetična besedila, ki spremljajo te podobe. Poetična besedila so vizualno predstavljena na inovativni način in se prepletajo skozi vso knjigo. Delujejo kot markerji, označevalci vsakega novega poglavja oz. vsake predstavljene posamezne instalacije in razkrivajo idejo, ki je vodila do nastanka instalacije.

In this book Anikó Robitz presents her photographs made between 2007 and 2020. Her works are based on modern and contemporary architecture. When taking pictures she uses only geometrical forms and elements to create her unique and minimalistic photos. While using the chosen details the composition can get far from the original and shows us something completely new. None of the photos were made in the studio but in the real world which surrounds us, in cities where titles refer to. Although Anikó Robitz is a photographer, her pictures are more appropriately approached as works of fine art. They are best understood by those who are familiar with 20th century visual art forms, primarily abstraction, Suprematism, and Minimalism – can be read in four languages in the foreword of the book. Text written by artist and art critic Bálint Szombathy.Text: Bálint Szombathy Design: Aniko Robitz Publisher: Self-published and coproduced by Photon – Centre for Photography Year: 2021 Hardback, canvas bound with dust jacket, 176 pages Edition: 200 copies Dimensions: 22,5 x 26,5 mm Language: Hungarian, English, German, French ISBN: 978-615-01-0633-5FOR ORDERS FROM OUTSIDE OF SLOVENIA PLEASE SEND US EMAIL ON info@photon.si

Foto-monografija o Laibachovem prebijanju železne zavese in dekonstrukciji zahodnega konzumerizma, je “road movie” zgodba o njihovi Occupied Europe turneji iz leta 1983. Po več kot 40-ih letih, si lahko v tej monografiji prvič ogledate nikoli prej objavljene fotografije iz Avstrije, Madžarske, Vzhodne in Zahodne Nemčije, Poljske, Nizozemske in Anglije, ki jih je med turnejo zbiral Teodor Lorenčič. Njegove dokumentarne fotografije se bolj berejo kot samo gledajo, ter jasno prikazujejo drzen umetniški koncept, nastal iz “razčlovečenega” sveta, ki ga skupina Laibach ostro kritizira. Laibachovo ime, simboli in nastopi so zmeraj bili provokacija. Skozi premišljene nastope z angažirano glasbo so izražali svoj odnos do sodobnega sveta. Njihova umetnost ni nedolžna, hkrati pa tudi niso krivi, da so lahko s pomočjo ikonografije prikazali apokaliptično nrav zgodovine.Fotografije: Teodor Lorenčič, Andrew Catlin Besedilo: Teodor Lorenčič Oblikovanje: Ivan Jocić, Mirko Trbusić Založnik: Službeni glasnik (Public Enterprise) Urednik: Gordana Milosavljević Stojanović Leto: 2022 Mehka vezava, 192 strani Jezik: angleški Dimenzije: 22,5 x 27,5 cm

Little known outside of his native Hungary, the body of work Szász created from the late 1950s through the 1970s, epitomises the artistic vision and innovation of photographers active in Hungary during the years of communism. Featuring boldly graphic abstractions primarily drawn from Hungarian life and landscape, Szász’s images communicate through a universal vernacular. Working in the tradition of Hungarian greats such as André Kertész and László Moholy-Nagy, János Szász’s images are notable for their experimentation with radical perspectives, formalist compositions, and stark, black and white contrast printing. Szász’s photographs transform ordinary scenes from his hometown of Pécs — snow-covered vineyards, stacked firewood, and rows of seating in a darkened movie theatre—into bold and graphic compositions. By manipulating darkroom exposure and processing techniques, Szász often reduced his subjects to pattern. He utilised a darkroom process for high-contrast printing, which involved chemical over-processing, then painstakingly bleaching over toned areas with a paintbrush or sponge, to arrive at his dynamically graphic images.

Which are the factors that have created one of the of the leading man of the Sicilian Mafia? How did Jakub Stanek come across this dangerous man in sunny Sicily and how did the idea of encapsulating this unusual encounter in the form of a photo publication come about? This unique experience in which Stanek built a friendly relationship with Giuseppe, made it possible to showcase and build on the image of a criminal, together with the everyday image of a hospitable, friendly, intelligent man who loves his small homeland. The photos are impressions of places, stories heard and people pointed out by »Peppe«. The Sicilian mafia today, Cosa Nostra, is a cleverly camouflaged machine blending into people's daily lives, weakening the state and controlling businesses. Proof of how organised and secretive the organisations structure is, is the fact that for these past 25 years Matteo Messina Denaro – the ringleader, so to speak - has remained a free man, while life on the streets goes on at its own pace, and the people of Sicily seem to pay no attention to the world of deals, patronage and harangues of which they are a part of. Somewhere high in this puzzle is Giuseppe Fontana - Matteo's friend, his right hand, consigliere. He deals his cards prudently and lives a seemingly ordinary life – the life of which this photo-book speaks of.Fotografije: Jakub Stanek Besedilo: Jakub Wiechowski Oblikovanje: Piotr Najar Leto: 2017 Trda vezava, 118 strani Jezik: English

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.

Dino Kužnik (1986, Slovenija) v knjigi Shaped by the West upodablja nekatere izmed najbolj ikoničnih emblemov Združenih držav Amerike. Serija je nastala na njegovih samotnih popotovanjih z avtomobilom v obdobju med 2016 in 2019. Konceptualno izhaja iz avtorjevega doživljanja obdobja po osamosvojitvi Slovenije v prehodu iz socializma v kapitalizem, ter posledičnim ”pozahodnjevanjem” slovenske kulture. Serija predstavlja njegovo upodabljanje simbolov »Amerikane«, ki jih pozna z otroštva v nasprotju z njegovo odraslo identiteto. Prevladujoči narativ serije je zgrajen okoli avtorjeve želje po selitvi v tujino in nostalgične vizije »ameriškega sna« v povezavi z resničnostjo življenja v ZDA in procesom prijave za umetniško vizo. Dino, ki v Združenih državah Amerike živi že od leta 2013, je v iskanju svojega umetniškega izraza potoval po Arizoni, Kaliforniji, Novi Mehiki, Utahu in Nevadi.Tekst: Špela Pipan Oblikovanje: Emil Kozole Trda vezava, 96 strani Naklada: 300 kopijZaložili : Dino Kužnik & Photon Tretji ponatis: 2021ISBN : 978-961-95107-3-5 COBISS.SI-ID: 62591747 -
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.

Skupina Laibach je avgusta 2015 v Severni Koreji nastopila na dveh zaporednih koncertih v Pjongjangu ob 70. obletnici osvoboditve korejskega polotoka. Morten Traavik, norveški režiser, aktivist in umetnik, je takrat s skupino Laibach posnel dokumentarni film z naslovom Liberation Day / Dan osvoboditve, ki je premiero doživel v začetku leta 2017. Na turneji in ob snemanju filma pa je nastalo tudi precej fotografskega gradiva – tako dokumentarnega kot izvirno avtorskega – ki ga s tem katalogom predstavljamo tuji in domači publiki.

In recent years Roman Bezjak has been intensively studying the theme of Socialist Modernism. He took the last series of photographs in Tashkent, in a "city as a symbol of Soviet modernity and an open-air museum of socialist architecture". In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The devastating earthquake of 1966 enabled the emergence of an open-air museum of socialist architecture in Tashkent. Urban planners were able to realize their vision of a new city as a symbol of Soviet modernity in Asia. In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The architects and building artists virtuously combined constructional requirements with local traditions. Oriental mosaic ornaments decorate the windowless gable facades of the prefabricated buildings. The facade designs of the long sides take into account the hot climatic conditions of the region with their concrete ornaments that serve as sunshades.

Knjiga Drevesa je zagotovo posebna knjižna izdaja, saj je ni enostavno žanrsko umestiti. Na 150-ih straneh prinaša bralcu kombinacijo poezije Iva Svetine in fotografij Gregorja Radonjiča, vendar na način, da pesem in fotografija delujeta kot celota, se dopolnjujeta in bralcu omogočata posebno bralsko doživetje. Verzi prehajajo v sliko, fotografija pa pesmim podeli podobo. Kombinacija poezije in fotografije skupni knjižni izdaji v založništvu ni povsem redka, vendar velikokrat ena ali druga panoga nastopata v podrejenem položaju. V knjigi Drevesa pa se verzi in fotografije prepletejo v povsem drugačno bralsko in estetsko izkušnjo, v popolno součinkovanje dveh medijev. Knjiga se v celoti nanaša na tematiko dreves in gozdov in pomeni prvi tovrstni avtorski pristop pri nas. Nekatere Svetinove pesmi so v knjigi prvič objavljene. Vse skupaj poudarja še format knjige, večinoma barvne fotografije in vrhunski tisk ter uvodni esej o pomenu dreves za človeka skozi zgodovino ter njihovem upodabljanju ter simboliki v fotografski umetnosti.

Živkovič je odraščal v Trbovljah, centru slovenske rudarske industrije, kar je imelo močan vpliv na njegovo umetniško ustvarjanje. V svojih serijah se namreč najpogosteje osredotoča na lokacije, zgodbe in motive, povezane z industrijskimi kraji. Za njegov opus je značilno poetično dokumentiranje zapuščene industrijske krajine.

…Podobe zapuščenosti in pritiklin industrijske civilizacije, podobe jedra prve petletke kažejo nek čas, ki se je preselil v spomin. In ki ga je mogoče doseči samo v sanjah ali pa skozi umetnost. Vidim Trbovlje kot cilj vseh odprav, kot nepretrgan tok svetlobe, Trbovlje, ki so se nam zdele neskončno velike in prostorne. Trbovlje brez občutka utesnjenosti, Trbovlje, ki obstajajo na nebu našega otroštva. Trbovlje, ki se ne kažejo kot naslov nekega romana – Črna dolina, ampak kot naslov nekega drugega – Kako zelena je bila moja dolina. In to tako močno in jasno videnje omogočajo ravno pričujoče fotografije, ki me z veliko prepričljivosto opozarjajo na verze, ki sem jih pred nedavnim prebral v neki knjigi. Ime pesnika mi ni znano. Glasijo pa se nekako takole: “Kdor se ni nikdar z zemljo mazal / v nebo sploh ne bi mogel priti.” (Uroš Zupan)

Rudolf Sikora is one of the most important conceptual artist in Slovakia. The book is divided into several logical units being dominated by the reproduction of works of authors who are listed chronologically. The harmony of the gallery sometimes are break with texts by curators, which also form the bulkheads in the book. Reproductions are designed individually, and each double-page is made with the same principles. However, none of the facing pages are similarly. The whole book is used two columns layout that varies with nuances. The book cover is a strip with photography that overlaps exactly two lines of text on the case. Overwrap, therefore, gives us a free hand in the creation of another visual book.
