Iza Štrumbelj Oblak (1997) is about to complete the study of photography at the higher school of applied sciences VIST. To acquire additional knowledge and broaden her horizons, she took several courses, and participated at several group exhibitions and photography competitions. Despite being her favorite medium of expression, she is not bound to photography. She is interested in the society and its many problems, intricating them with the motif of personal growth. In her earlier work, she tried to figure out beauty and explored the notion of personal identity. She has always been interested in human relations and the personal stories of the people behind the pictures.
The photographs on display come from the backstage of her previous project in which she constructed her self-portrait through the materialization of relations, memories, interests and national identity. She wonders what happens if the portrait is stripped off itself, which makes her explore other constituents of personal identity.
The photograph is printed on archival matt 290g paper. The entire edition is printed with a white border in the dimension 40 x 50 cm (including the white border). With each print, you will receive a certificate of authenticity. Each print (photograph) comes in an edition of 50.
