The featured artists:

Anikó Robitz (1978, Nagykanizsa, Hungary) studied photography at the Szellemkép Photography School until 2006 and later continued her studies at the Milton Friedman University in Budapest (2008-2011). She received the Graz Cultural City Network Award in 2008 and the Pécsi József grant in 2009. She lives and works in Budapest. While Anikó is strongly situated in the medium of photography, her work correlates with other practices of fine art such as painting and printmaking. We can compare it to certain styles from the 20th century due to its formalistic troupes, like Minimalism, Constructivism and Supremacism, which all diverge from realistic depictions in art. Her signature approach to photography thus highlights formalistically bare images, imbued with rich modernist tradition as well as contemporary art practices.

Ladislav Postupa (1929, Náchod, CZ) received his education at the Technical University in Liberec. After several years of working as a designer, he published his first photographs in 1959. He then became a member of the Union Czechoslovak visual artists in 1965. In the following years he made his first photographs on negative plates in the style of wall paintings, and experimented with various new techniques in photography; he also applied for several patents in Czechoslovakia. In 1970, he successfully patented a surface treatment for photographs on wood-fiber boards, which perserved images from fading. As an artist, Postupa was an heir of the abundent tradition of Czech Surrealistic photography. His interpretations of ordinary scenes draw from a penetrating surrealist perception of the world and its rich imagination. His work became better known to the public in the 1960s when his photographs were shown at several important exhibitions on surrealism and photography in Brno in 1966. His first monograph was published in 1967 when he also started to work as a professional photographer and opened his artist studio in Liberec.

Dino Kužnik (1986, Slovenia), is a New York based photographer and graphic designer. He uses photography as a medium to capture aesthetically unique scenes, with an emphasis on colour and composition. After several years of experience as a journalistic photographer, retoucher and graphic designer, he now mainly focuses primarily on personal and commercial photography projects ranging from documentary, automotive, architecture and landscape to environmental portraiture and fashion. In 2019, he published his first hard cover book titled Shaped by the West with the publisher AINT -BAD. His work has been featured in numerous online and print publications. He has  exhibited in London, Ljubljana, New York, Toronto, Trieste, Arles, Detroit and Paris. In 2017, he was shortlisted for the Landscape category of the Sony World Photography Awards and was exhibited alongside Martin Parr at Somerset House. His notable clients include Tyler the Creator, Jay Versace, Tesla, Adobe, The New Yorker, Wonderland Sun and Flaviar.

Tomo Brejc (1975, Slovenia) studied philosophy and sociology of culture at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, where he graduated with his thesis The End of Photography – or Just a Chance to Rethink European Visual Culture. In recent years, he has been active in the fields of artistic production, fashion photography and theoretical writing: between 1999 and 2003, he was a member of the editorial board of the magazine Fotografija, where he also published a number of professional articles on the theory of photography, and in the field of photographic production, he collaborates with many national and international publications and agencies. Tomo Brejc is one of the most successful Slovenian photographers, living and working in London, where his excellent technical as well as conceptual skills have helped him to gain recognition. Over the years he has developed his own distinctive style of expression, which he uses in both artistic and commercial photography.
