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.

SALE!Stone Marks is the latest photo book by Roberto Kusterle, a Slovenian-Italian artist, who is devoted to non-representational photography as he preserves a kind of picturesque style, which always contains elements of odd, bizarre, surrealist. His photography does not document, but is a complete invention; it creates miz-an-scenes both in the studio and outside.

NEW!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.

The Styrians series of photographs show everyday scenes from rural lives of ordinary local people, depicting their poverty and unenviable social status. The series draws a covert comparison to the new prospects and possibilities of the 1970s by showing the underdeveloped rural areas in contrast to the accelerated development of urban areas. -

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM FOREIGN WORKERS? Anna Fabricius has been researching the changing cultural and personality-shaping role of work for years and is currently investigating the increasingly common transnational family relationships resulting from the global division of labour. She has been collaborating with workers from the Far East (Nepal, Myanmar Thailand, Philippines, India), like Insiyatul Urbayanti, who have been employed for shorter or longer periods in agriculture or in the manufacturing industry. The majority of them are young, poor men and women whose daily lives are charac-terised by restricted freedom of movement, strict daily schedules and low wages. There is a constant migration of labour between the poorer and richer regions of the world, and Hungary is also involved in this exchange both as host and exporter. The project titled "Home Is Where Work Is" addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time, where the discourse on human rights is accompanied by restrictive immigration regulations. In this respect, the title of the project carries several mean-ings. We can conceive of work as an instrument of power that forces people to leave their homes, determines their living spaces, their daily rhythms and their personal relationships. The title also addresses the insecurities of the transitory situation in which one cannot feel at home in their place of birth or in their place of work. Lastly, it refers to the dilemmas between moneymaking work and care work to maintain the family home, and thus to the tensions between the economy, society and the reproduction of culture.

SALE!The photographic monograph Janez Korošin - People and Landscapes (black and white photographs 1960-2015) by Primož Lampič provides an overview of the work of photographer Janez Korošin. Janez Korošin (1935, Ljubljana) started taking photographs at the age of 17 in the Fotoklub Ravne na Koroškem under the mentorship of František Kamnik. He worked as a chemical technician at the Ravne Ironworks, and after completing his military service he joined the Jože Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, where he met the renowned photographer Marjan Smerket, who introduced him to exhibition photography. He began to work more seriously as a photographer in the mid-1960s. In 1966, he became a member of the Fotoklub Ljubljana and Fotogrupa Šolt, which merged in 1968 to form Fotogrupa Ljubljana Šolt, where some of the most prominent local photographers of the time worked. Later he also became a member of the Slovenian Photographers' Association. He has also received numerous international awards and prizes for his photographic work. In 1977, the Photographic Association of Yugoslavia awarded him the title of Master of Photography, and in 1996, the Photographic Association of Slovenia honoured him with the Janez Puhar Lifetime Achievement in Photography Award. In 2000, he was awarded the title "FIAP Excellency" by the International Photographic Association FIAP. "Because of photography's primary ability to record visible reality as the eye does, realism is always relevant in the medium. It is also the foundation of Korošinov's work. I hardly find any radical interventions in his work. -
“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.

‘Until Death Do Us Part’ series is the result of two-year photographic project on weddings in Europe, with an accent on cross-cultural couples and certain cultural meanderings, the product of the constant shifts of borders, migrations, globalisation and acculturation. The project represents a visual investigation of the phenomenon of the wedding ceremony and party as one of the crucial anthropological genres, which has for thousands of years played a pivotal role in the ritual life of the human race. In essence, this tradition has remained largely unchanged, despite newly emerging trends and cultural, racial or gender traversing, and in spite of the fact that marriage as an institution is no longer regarded as something so necessarily desirable. Photographs from this series examine the phenomenon of marriage and of wedding ceremony across Europe, often represented as a glamorous pagan ritual paying great attention towards certain fragments of national tradition and folklore of newlyweds and their families. Despite her straight documentary approach and anthropological aims Katarina Radović captures incidental and secondary motifs that often produce metaphysically stressed images with ability to confuse the perception of the seen.
