Katalog je izšel ob prvi celoviti pregledni razstavi fotografije Božidarja Jakca v Moderni galeriji leta 2014, katerega umetniški sloves je utemeljen na grafikah, ustvarjalni odgovor pa je že od študentskih let iskal tudi v novih medijih. S poudarkom na kasneje odkritih fotografijah iz obdobja pred drugo svetovno vojno, je razstava sledila kronologiji posnetkov, nastalih na umetnikovih pomembnejših življenjskih postajah, v Pragi (1922-23), Novem mestu (okoli 1923), Parizu (1925), Tuniziji (1925), Ameriki (1929-1931) in med partizani (1943-1945). Gre za prvi dve desetletji Jakčevega posvečanja temu mediju, ko je bil njegov ustvarjalni razvoj na tem področju najsilovitejši in ko je tudi sicer umetniško in osebnostno dozorel. Z vključitvijo nekaterih del z drugih področij njegovega ustvarjanja, risb, grafik, olj in pastelov, ki udejanjajo isto izkustveno stvarnost kot fotografija, je razstava razkrila, da mu je fotografija pomenila pravzaprav nov medij spoznanja.

In recent years Roman Bezjak has been intensively studying the theme of Socialist Modernism. He took the last series of photographs in Tashkent, in a "city as a symbol of Soviet modernity and an open-air museum of socialist architecture". In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The devastating earthquake of 1966 enabled the emergence of an open-air museum of socialist architecture in Tashkent. Urban planners were able to realize their vision of a new city as a symbol of Soviet modernity in Asia. In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The architects and building artists virtuously combined constructional requirements with local traditions. Oriental mosaic ornaments decorate the windowless gable facades of the prefabricated buildings. The facade designs of the long sides take into account the hot climatic conditions of the region with their concrete ornaments that serve as sunshades.

“Ko sem imel deset let, sem se opekel z bencinom. Opekline so bile tako hude, da sem komaj preživel. Bilo je izjemno težko, a šele, ko sem postal oče, sem spoznal, da je moralo biti mojim staršem še mnogo huje! Spoznal sem, da je strah pred izgubo otroka mnogo hujši od strahu pred lastim koncem. Z ženo sva se po 21 letih razšla in te podobe govorijo o izgubi in oddaljenosti. Te podobe govorijo o navezanosti. Te podobe govorijo o fotografiji kot mostu. Te podobe ustvarjajo preteklost. Te podobe govorijo o radostih in bolečinah biti oče”, pravi avtor o svoji novi fotografski seriji, ki je predstavljena v knjigi.

Dela Branka Lenarta, ki so povzeta v tej knjigi, obsegajo obdobje od leta 1975 do 2012. Veliko del je znanih iz drugih zbirk in drugih kontekstov, so pa ustvarjena tudi nova in tako prinašajo nove vsebine. Knjiga "HAND:WORK" je zelo konceptualna, vendar prenaša določeno meta-raven s pomočjo predstavljenih oseb, topografij, besedil in spominov na njihov prvotni pomen, ustvarjajoča celovito novo celoto.

The author's work monumentally develops the genre of nude and attracts attention in the company of works by Drtikol, Saudek or Mapplethorp. Židlický deliberately violated the rules of classical photography on the inviolability of the negative. His work surprises with its distinctive visuals. The quality of Ator's work is evidenced by the representation in the collections of the Center Georges Pompidou, Paris, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Museum Ludwig, Cologne and others.

‘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.

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

Photographer Vladimír Birgus (b. 1954) has long been important on the Czech and European photography scene, where he played several roles, ranging from photographer and columnist to historian and teacher. A number of high-profile projects are connected with his name, in particular the comprehensive exhibitions and books Czech Photographic Avant-garde, 1918–1948 and Czech Photography of the 20th Century, which have, in a fundamental way, helped promote the works of many Czech photographers internationally. He has also helped to gain appreciation for the works of František Drtikol, Jaroslav Rössler, and Eugen Wiškovský. As a photographer, he has gained an international reputation, and has shown his works in dozens of exhibitions at home and abroad, and his photographs are in a number of important collections. Since the late 1970s, he has systematically expanded his series of photographs called Something Unspeakable, in which he organically links elements of socially concerned documentary photography with a subjective view. His photographs are enriched with many visual metaphors and symbols, whose psychological and emotional meanings are underscored by the symbolic use of color photography. His photographs include existential and dramatic scenes from the streets of big European cities against the background of everyday life and slowly moving history.

Which are the factors that have created one of the of the leading man of the Sicilian Mafia? How did Jakub Stanek come across this dangerous man in sunny Sicily and how did the idea of encapsulating this unusual encounter in the form of a photo publication come about? This unique experience in which Stanek built a friendly relationship with Giuseppe, made it possible to showcase and build on the image of a criminal, together with the everyday image of a hospitable, friendly, intelligent man who loves his small homeland. The photos are impressions of places, stories heard and people pointed out by »Peppe«. The Sicilian mafia today, Cosa Nostra, is a cleverly camouflaged machine blending into people's daily lives, weakening the state and controlling businesses. Proof of how organised and secretive the organisations structure is, is the fact that for these past 25 years Matteo Messina Denaro – the ringleader, so to speak - has remained a free man, while life on the streets goes on at its own pace, and the people of Sicily seem to pay no attention to the world of deals, patronage and harangues of which they are a part of. Somewhere high in this puzzle is Giuseppe Fontana - Matteo's friend, his right hand, consigliere. He deals his cards prudently and lives a seemingly ordinary life – the life of which this photo-book speaks of.Fotografije: Jakub Stanek Besedilo: Jakub Wiechowski Oblikovanje: Piotr Najar Leto: 2017 Trda vezava, 118 strani Jezik: English

Big Sur Real. Branko Lenart se je pri svojem najnovejšem knjižnem projektu posvetil procesu izbire kot ustvarjalnega dejanja. Zbral je 119 fotografij iz obdobja od leta 1970 do 2020 pod naslovom „BIG SUR REAL“. Big Sur je realni kraj na kalifornijski obali, vendar zmitiziran in romantiziran kot paradiž svobode, hedonizma in kontrakulture, ki so ga opevali in se mnogi tja tudi preselili, med njimi najbolj Henry Miller, Edward Weston, Lawrence Ferlinghetti in, seveda, Jack Kerouac, ki je tam našel “kult svobode in anarhije”, ki mu je posvetil istoimensko novelo. Razširjeno področje simbolne “prave svobode”, paz real, pa Lenartu predstavlja kar celoten Sur, latinski jug – kot “pravi jug”, sur real. Ta obenem v njem zbuja občutja nadresničnosti, sur-realnosti v pomenu, ki sega čez vpliv surrealizma na njegovo delo, je na nek način imaginarni kraj avtorjeve “prave svetlobe”, je pravzaprav njegova luz real – področje ultimativnega navdiha. Ni naključje, da od tam prihaja tudi njegova življenjska sopotnica, njegova amor real, ki tako vso avtorjevo ustvarjanje in življenje poveže v neločljivo celoto. Branko Lenart (1948, Ptuj, Slovenija) je bil rojen v nekdanji Jugoslaviji, vendar je njegova družina pri njegovih šestih letih emigrirala v bližnjo Avstrijo. V Gradcu je študiral pedagogiko, leta 1968 je postal član fotografske sekcije graškega umetniškega društva Forum Stadtpark, iz katere je kasneje izšla Camera Austria. Do leta 2007 je bil dejaven kot predavatelj za fotografijo na Višji državni šoli za umetnost in oblikovanje v Gradcu (1979 – 2007) in na Visoki strokovni šoli Joanneum v Gradcu (1996 – 2003). Lenart je mednarodno priznani fotograf, ki že od mladosti precej potuje po svetu, pogosto je bival na umetniških rezidencah kot so Apeiron Workshops v Millertonu, New York, v La Rochelle, Arlesu, Oxfordu, Rimu, Parizu in Londonu. Njegov opus je razpet med dokumentarno in konceptualno avtorsko fotografijo. S posebno pozornostjo se je posvečal zlasti družbenemu obrobju, pripadnikom nekdanje urbane kontrakulture ali podeželske sociale. Za ta tip fotografije se je uveljavila oznaka „subjektivna topografija“.
