“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". Author: Branko Lenart Editor: Kurt Kaindl Year: 1991 Hardcover, 176 pages Edition Fotohof Language: english, german Dimensions: 28 x 25 cm ISBN: 3-7013-0817-9 -
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.

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.

25 years after the end of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somnambulism discusses the importance of culture and urban fabric in the construction-destruction-reconstruction of the country. In four different stages, the reader will experience a metaphorical wandering of night and day walking between the old and new infrastructures, buildings and monuments. Firstly, in a once-upon-a-time journey between Sarajevo and Belgrade, historical events unfold the Yugoslav intercultural nation born after the World War II. Then, landscapes still offended by the tragedy of the war and of the urbicide, reveal the collective amnesia of the 1992–1995 conflict. In the last two stages, the dualism between division and unity betoken the contemporary terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina, marked both by the visible presence of religious monuments and by landscapes which uprise to avoid the oblivion of the multicultural common past. With her photographs, Lara Ciarabellini is able to show the change in the web of intertwining layers of the Yugoslav and Bosnian collective memory in the last decades, adding a new and personal point of view in the analysis of the aftermath of the war. Poems, texts, and archival pictures accompany her and reader's journey. Author: Lara Ciarabellini Texts: Š.Daupović Fiko, C. Elia, E. Forto, A Klemenčić, P. Lowe, S. Milio, T. Novosel, D.

This book is the first documentation of a young generation of Slovak photographers. After the events of the late 1980s and 90s a photography department was established at the University of Bratislava, where the trend of individualism was broadly supported and a new creativity arose after decades of oppression. To document the wide creative and experimental variety of the young artists, this comprehensive title employs four different approaches: by art critic Lucia GavulovNB, photography theorist Michaela PaštekovNB, philosopher and aesthetic Jozef Kovalčik, and photographer and teacher Filip Vančo. They all brought their different ideas and individual views to this fascinating scene. Author: Peter Ančic, Juraj Anušev, Juraj Fifik, Barbora Haviarova, Jana Ilkova...

The works of Branko Lenart, which are summarized in this book, date from 1975 to 2012. Much of this is known from other compilations and other contexts, has suddenly new titles and thus brings up to date content levels. The "HAND:WORK" is highly conceptual, but transports a certain meta-level through represented persons, topographies, texts and the memory of their original meaning, creating a whole new whole.

The author's work monumentally develops the genre of nude and attracts attention in the company of works by Drtikol, Saudek or Mapplethorp. Židlický deliberately violated the rules of classical photography on the inviolability of the negative. His work surprises with its distinctive visuals. The quality of Ator's work is evidenced by the representation in the collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Museum Ludwig, Cologne and others.

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.
