‘Until Death Do Us Part’ series is the result of two-year photographic project on weddings in Europe, with an accent on cross-cultural couples and certain cultural meanderings, the product of the constant shifts of borders, migrations, globalisation and acculturation. The project represents a visual investigation of the phenomenon of the wedding ceremony and party as one of the crucial anthropological genres, which has for thousands of years played a pivotal role in the ritual life of the human race. In essence, this tradition has remained largely unchanged, despite newly emerging trends and cultural, racial or gender traversing, and in spite of the fact that marriage as an institution is no longer regarded as something so necessarily desirable. Photographs from this series examine the phenomenon of marriage and of wedding ceremony across Europe, often represented as a glamorous pagan ritual paying great attention towards certain fragments of national tradition and folklore of newlyweds and their families. Despite her straight documentary approach and anthropological aims Katarina Radović captures incidental and secondary motifs that often produce metaphysically stressed images with ability to confuse the perception of the seen.

25 years after the end of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somnambulism discusses the importance of culture and urban fabric in the construction-destruction-reconstruction of the country. In four different stages, the reader will experience a metaphorical wandering of night and day walking between the old and new infrastructures, buildings and monuments. Firstly, in a once-upon-a-time journey between Sarajevo and Belgrade, historical events unfold the Yugoslav intercultural nation born after the World War II. Then, landscapes still offended by the tragedy of the war and of the urbicide, reveal the collective amnesia of the 1992–1995 conflict. In the last two stages, the dualism between division and unity betoken the contemporary terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina, marked both by the visible presence of religious monuments and by landscapes which uprise to avoid the oblivion of the multicultural common past. With her photographs, Lara Ciarabellini is able to show the change in the web of intertwining layers of the Yugoslav and Bosnian collective memory in the last decades, adding a new and personal point of view in the analysis of the aftermath of the war. Poems, texts, and archival pictures accompany her and reader's journey. Avtor: Lara Ciarabellini Besedilo: Š.Daupović Fiko, C. Elia, E. Forto, A Klemenčić, P. Lowe, S. Milio, T. Novosel, D.

In the Gastropoda project artist deals with the “metabolism of images” inspired by the accidental co-authorship of snails, which ate the mail invitations to exhibition openings in Fontcuberta’s home mailbox. It is still possible, however, to discern the shapes of the original images in the selected “metabolised” works.

The beginning of the joint venture of diSTRUKTURA is marked by the Face to Face series of photographs as well as with the photograph, entitled Missing Hill I from 2005. The picture showcases the artists with their backs turned against the viewer while gazing in the devastated landscape in the vicinity of closed and deserted copper mine in Majdanpek, Serbia. This work characterised further creative production of the couple who focused on questioning extended notions of nature nowadays and on redefining landscape genre in the period after the industrial, technological and digital revolutions. Since then diSTRUKTURA has been consistently developing its art works across different artistic media, from photography and painting, to drawing, video and installation. This book is therefore the first extensive monographic publication where all the projects from the past ten years are documented, inventoried and analysed: Face to Face, Third Landscape, Cities: Psychogeographic Experiments, We are Living in a Beautiful wOURld, Mitteleuropäische Landschaft, Not so Far Away and The Best of Leisure.

Jure Kastelic in Pretty Loops addresses the phenomena of contemporary communication tools and technologies, and focus on visual media from the point of view of interaction with its users. Therefore he commonly refers to ambivalence of an image (a photograph), experiments with manipulating (media) contents, and explores impact of overabundance of information on humans.

Bertok deals with the transience of the human body also in his latest series of works, this time, however, from a slightly different perspective. He introduces us to a tortured and exhausted, weary body, bearing the consequences of extreme physical and psychological experience of giving up food. Again, Bertok does not question the personal, psychological, or social motives and circumstances that brought the subject of his depiction into such a state. The artist compares the experience of anorexia with other borderline experiences, be it the so-called SM practices or the survival in the extreme conditions of concentration camps, which he has dealt with in his former projects and photographic series. Thus, the purpose of the project is not to "photodocument" the phenomenon of a disorder or disease, but rather to question the very nature of our physicality, our relationship to the emaciated body and the pain that we presuppose or feel when looking at the proximity of death.

In this book Anikó Robitz presents her photographs made between 2007 and 2020. Her works are based on modern and contemporary architecture. When taking pictures she uses only geometrical forms and elements to create her unique and minimalistic photos. While using the chosen details the composition can get far from the original and shows us something completely new. None of the photos were made in the studio but in the real world which surrounds us, in cities where titles refer to. Although Anikó Robitz is a photographer, her pictures are more appropriately approached as works of fine art. They are best understood by those who are familiar with 20th century visual art forms, primarily abstraction, Suprematism, and Minimalism – can be read in four languages in the foreword of the book. Text written by artist and art critic Bálint Szombathy.Text: Bálint Szombathy Design: Aniko Robitz Publisher: Self-published and coproduced by Photon – Centre for Photography Year: 2021 Hardback, canvas bound with dust jacket, 176 pages Edition: 200 copies Dimensions: 22,5 x 26,5 mm Language: Hungarian, English, German, French ISBN: 978-615-01-0633-5FOR ORDERS FROM OUTSIDE OF SLOVENIA PLEASE SEND US EMAIL ON info@photon.si

Lara Štrumej / Geometrija samote: nekateri vidiki modernizma v nacionalni zbirki fotografij Moderne galerije Kot vsa umetnost tudi fotografije nastajajo v vsakokratnih zgodovinskih, družbenih in umetnostnih kontekstih. Medtem ko odražajo različne ideologije ali kulturne konvencije svojega časa, utelešajo različne miselne dialoge posameznih fotografov s svetom vidnega. Fotografski medij razpira potemtakem mnogotere fasete — od tistih, ki jih pogojujejo ikonografske, pomenske, konceptualne, estetske in druge posebnosti posamične fotografije, do onih, ki jih razbiramo v odnosu tega medija do drugih vizualnih medijev. Z raznolikostjo fotografskega medija je zaznamovan tudi fond fotografske zbirke Moderne galerije. Vendar pa je v množici najrazličnejših individualnih poetik fotografov, katerih dela so že zastopana v njej, mogoče prepoznati zanimive podobnosti vseh vrst. Tokrat nas bodo zanimale tiste, ki jih razbiramo na fotografijah, katerih avtorji so se ustvarjalno odzivali bodisi na neki v zunanji pojavnosti sveta že obstoječi red ali pa na posamična razmerja in odnose v zunanjem, predvsem urbanem svetu, ki v fotografski transpoziciji ustvarjajo na podobah nov konceptualni red.

Razstavni katalog je izšel ob razstavi v Moderni galeriji v Ljubljani leta 2010. Fotografija je bila Kosova ljubiteljska dejavnost, ki se ji je posvečal od poznih dvajsetih let dvajsetega stoletja vse do konca življenja, najbolj intenzivno pa v tridesetih letih. Njegov prvi fotografski aparat je bil na steklene plošče, od zgodnjih tridesetih letih naprej pa je uporabljal fotoaparat leica. Večji del ohranjenega opusa predstavljajo tako črno-beli leica posnetki; iz šestdesetih let so se ohranili barvni diapozitivi. Kos je fotografijo sprva uporabljal za dokumentiranje svojih slikarskih del, nekaterih razstav, na katerih je sodeloval, po vizualni pretanjenosti pa izstopajo fotografije interierov, opremljenih s pohištvom, za katerega je sam izdelal načrte. Razstava je predstavila redke vizualne dokumente o Kosovih dosežkih na področju oblikovanja notranje opreme.
