Tanja Verlak (1979) received her PhD from the Royal College of Art in London. Through ontological and phenomenological models of the photographic image, she examined the relationship between the indexical image and its iconic or imaginary aspects. She conducted part of her research at the renowned British interdisciplinary research institution The British School at Rome. In 2021, she received a prestigious Fulbright grant and was invited by MoCP – The Museum of Contemporary Photography and Columbia University in Chicago to work as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. She is a recipient of a Zois scholarship and other awards and fellowships, including the Royal College of Art Research Bursary and the TATA Grant. She has twice been honoured with the Slovenian Photography of the Year Award. She has exhibited at home and abroad (AIPAD, New York, Paris Photo, Texas Contemporary Art Fair Houston, Tate Modern (Offprint), GoEun Museum of Photography, Moderna galerija Ljubljana, Maribor Art Gallery). In Slovenia she has recently exhibited at ZRC SAZU and at the Nova Gorica City Gallery. Her works are part of national and international art collections and were recently auctioned by Sotheby’s.
