Peter Koštrun (1979) graduated from Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, where he currently teaches at the Department of Photography. He has been exhibiting at home and abroad since 2003. Koštrun is a master of landscape photography known for his depiction of empty and deserted landscapes, as well as his refined selection of framing and light. He is less interested in the documentary dimension of the land due to his conceptual approach to the genre. His works contain a subtle atmosphere that evokes a feeling of something greater or even immortal. Recent solo exhibitions include Moments, Mottard & Jenray, Liège (2012) in Belgium; The Time is Now, Photo Gallery Lang, Samobor in Croatia (2012), Singularity, Photon Gallery in Vienna, Austria (2014) and Premonition, Center for Contemporary Arts Celje, Slovenia (2016) and Photon Gallery Vienna (2019). Koštrun has shown his work in many group exhibitions at home and abroad, including Almost Spring, 100 Years of Slovene Art at the Maribor Art Gallery (2012), as well as in one of the most important exhibitions of contemporary landscape photography, Sense of Place at the Bozar Expo in Brussels (2012), and the exhibition Land / City / Real / Imagined at Diemar / Noble Gallery in London (2011). Koštrun’s works can be found in the Essl collection in Vienna and in the collection of the Cabinet of Slovenian Photography in the Gorenjska Museum in Kranj.
This work is part of a photographic folder or portfolio box with twenty prints by renowned Slovenian photographic artists from the 1970s to the present day, published on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Photon Gallery.
