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.

Lara Štrumej / Geometry of Solitude: Some Modernist Works From the National Photography Collection at Moderna Galerija Among the numerous original languages employed by the individual photographers whose work features in Moderna galerija's photography collection, our attention was drawn to shots that reflect the creative responses of photographers either to an order existing in the external phenomenal world or to individual relationships arising in the urban world that establish a new conceptual order in created images when photographically transposed. The works featured in the catalogue were not created at one time — they span a period from the mid-1950s to the late 20th century. But apart from iconographic similarities and an austere narrative that stems from the modernist desire of the artists to retreat from noisy everyday life to the aesthetics of the silence of photographic images, they are marked by an exploration of the semantic issues of photography as a self-sufficient artistic entity. In every one of these images, the dialogue with the visible world is in its own special way removed from the dynamics of social life and takes place with respect to space and the state of things within this space. The perceived situations where man is present only through his absence are presented in ways not always new, since the artists built on the achievements of New Objectivity, a period that is regarded as the beginning of Slovene modernist photography.

She is interested in different approaches to photography, which she combines with video and sound. Re-terraforming is a project in the making, which the artist started in 2021. Visual research is based on thinking about the end of the world, both in physical and abstract terms. By manipulating and combining photos of shopping malls into collages that repeat malls’ generic architectural design, the artist misleads the viewer and shows an imaginary, dystopian reality. In the series of photographs, she also introduces subtle images of inanimate organisms, which are presented in the form of a hologram and hint at something extra-terrestrial.The photograph is printed on archival matt 290g paper.

By exploring places and objects that have sentimental value to me, I try to grasp the notions of absence, loss, and imperfection. I go back in time searching traces.” The photograph is printed on archival semi-gloss 290g paper.

NEW!Luka Hernet (1998) is a younger-generation photographer from Maribor. Since 2018, he has worked across documentary, portrait, reportage, and concert photography. The series Somewhere, Somehow / Nekje, nekako brings together photographs taken in various locations during the most recent period of his artistic practice. Seemingly unrelated scenes, abandoned objects, traces of human presence, unusual interventions in the landscape, and subtle departures from the order of everyday life, come together in an open-ended visual narrative about transience, chance, and the fragility of the environment. Hernet is particularly interested in moments when the ordinary world briefly becomes unfamiliar, ambiguous, or almost surreal. The series SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW / NEKJE, NEKAKO consists of photographs taken by Luka Hernet in various locations and at different stages of his career. Seemingly unrelated scenes—abandoned objects, traces of human presence, unusual interventions in the landscape, and subtle deviations from the everyday order—come together to form an open-ended visual narrative about transience, chance, and the fragility of the environment. Hernet is particularly interested in moments when the ordinary world briefly becomes alien, ambiguous, or almost surreal. The photographs are characterized by a blend of a documentary perspective and a distinct aesthetic sensibility. The artist shifts between color-saturated images, tranquil landscape scenes, and high-contrast black-and-white shots, yet maintains a consistent focus on the tension between gentleness and unease, order and chaos, presence and disappearance. Somewhere, Somehow is not so much a record of a specific space as it is a personal map of fleeting encounters with a world that is constantly changing and eludes definitive interpretation. The print run is 10 copies, the photograph measures 40 x 50 cm and is digitally printed on 230g matte paper. -
