Eva Petrič’s Webbing is a »hybrid« of her visual art and creative writing with which she presents the web of her 25 art installations in the medium of lace assembage. Made in the period of 2012-2018, they were installed worldwide. Connected into one web by the artist’s perception of lace representing hematomas they seem to exist as a collective web which surpasses time and space. Hematomas occur not only when the wall of blood vessels is damaged and blood leaks into surrounding tisues where it does not belong, but also on emotional and social dimensions. We, as a society or as indiviudals, can ourselves be hematomas when emotional barriers break and emotions explode… Petrič’s hematomas, are further tied into one common web by their ephemerality: when the artist deinstalls them, they cease to exist and can never again appear in the same form – except in this monography.

This catalog accompanied the exhibition at the Museum Modern Art in Ljubljana in 2010. For Gojmir Anton Kos, photography was an amateur interest that he pursued from the late 1920s until the end of his life, most intensively in the 1930s. Initially he used a glass plate camera, and from the early 1930s onward a Leica. Most of his surviving photographic oeuvre thus consists of black-and-white Leica shots; there are also some color slides from the 1960s. Kos initially photographed his paintings and some exhibitions in which he participated, as well as interiors outfitted with furniture of his own design. The latter stand out for their visual refinement and were given a special place in the exhibition, as they are rare visual documents of Kos' work in the field of interior design.

Goran Bertok (1963) graduated in journalism from the Faculty of Sociology, Political Sciences and Journalism in Ljubljana. In his early career, he focused on the creation of staged scenes with motifs of unconventional sexual practices, especially from the field of sadomasochism (series Omen, Stigmata, etc.) and later turned to a more radical exploration of physicality. This soon led him to the ultimate theme – the physical death. He devoted much of his work to this topic, both through direct visual confrontation with decaying bodies (Post Mortem, Visitors), as well as through the portraiture of those who experienced immediate proximity to death (Survivors). In his artistic career spanning over almost three decades, his work has been included in many important solo and group exhibitions both at home and abroad. Most recently in the group exhibition Et nos morts? Post-mortem photography in Europe today at the Maison de la Photographie Robert Doisneau, Gentilly, France (2023) and REALIZE! RESIST! REACT! Performance and Politics in the 1990s in the Post-Yugoslav Context at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (2021). Recent solo exhibitions include the The End, First Rehearsal at the Old Power Station, Ljubljana (2023) and Hunger at the Photon Gallery in Ljubljana and Vienna (2020) and at the Simulaker Gallery in Novo Mesto (2021). 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. -
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.
