Roberto Kusterle (1948, Gorizia) has been active in the field of visual art since the 1970s, initially taking up painting and installation work. In the late 1980s, he became interested in photography, which soon became the main medium for his artistic expression. In his work, he focuses on the themes of continuality and connectivity between the human, animal and the natural world. His artistic style encompasses elements of the unusual, bizarre and the surreal. His photographs are not documentary in nature, but are figments of his imagination; the objects, people and the worlds depicted do not exist in reality and typically serve as the basis for his photography. He has been actively exhibiting throughout Italy, Slovenia and internationally since 1988. During this time he has participated in more than 90 solo exhibitions and more than 140 group exhibitions. His most recent solo exhibitions include Habitados at the Museo de la Memoria Històrica Universitaria, Publa, Mexico (2020), the 20e èdition du Festival Europèen de Photo de Nu, Church Sainte-Anne, Arles (2020), Echo, Galleria Weber & Weber, Turin (2021), and series Echo and Cartacei at the Photon Gallery in Ljubljana and Vienna (2023). During his artistic career, he has published 15 monographs.
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.
