Valerija Intihar (1995) graduated from the Department of Textile and Fashion Design and has been working as an independent fashion and textile designer in Ljubljana for several years. She is currently completing her studies at the Department of Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design under the mentorship of Peter Rauch. In analogue and digital techniques, she investigates the positions of objects in the modern materially saturated world, through documentation of processes and sculptural installations, as well as manipulations in darkroom procedures. She participated in several group exhibitions, among others as part of Gallery 7:069 and ALUO Ponjava. In February of this year, she independently presented the photographic series Low res images in Gallery P74.
In the series Weight of an Empty Area, the artist documents traces of absent objects and treats them as her own motifs. She potentiates them in the form of sculptures and interventions in the landscape, which she emphasizes with the “burn and dodge” technique in the darkroom. The photographic project straddles the border between sculpture and performance and ponders the land art tradition of the 1970s.
