© Jošt Dolinšek, 2023 | | | | | | | The satirical staging of social roles, how we observe our surroundings, the phenomenon of repetition: with the exhibition PARADISE, PERFORMANCE, REPLICA. SLOVENIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC ART, the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (FFF) presents three positions of contemporary photography from Slovenia. Despite completely different themes, all three artists explore the boundaries of photography in an equally experimental and refreshing way. | | | | | | | | | The Womb, 2023
From the series Birds of Paradise, 2021–2023
© Vanja Bućan, 2023 | | | | Vanja Bućan (*1973, Nova Gorica) questions socio-political themes with surreally staged image compositions. In her series Birds of Paradise – created from 2021 to 2023 during the pandemic-related retreat into the domestic – the photo-artist addresses traditional female roles in the seclusion of the private sphere. The woman primarily responsible for childcare and household chores is reduced to hands-on duty. Bućan dissects her photographs and then assembles them into humorous, enigmatic photo collages as a mirror of experience and an invitation to reflect. | | | | | | | | | From the series To Move the Sun and Earth Away, #5, 2019–2021
© Jošt Dolinšek, 2023 | | | | In his installations, Jošt Dolinšek (*1997, Ljubljana) investigates visual perception and affects of environment, especially of landscape and nature. This young artist is less concerned with environmental crises and their causes but more of the fundamentals of existential and individual attitudes to time and space. The focus of his work deals with uncertainty, loss and change. Dolinšek experiments with different media, materials and forms combining photography with moving images, sound and sculpture. | | | | | | | | | From the series Replica, 2005–2022
© Bojan Radovič, 2023 | | | | Since the 1980s, Bojan Radovič (*1960, Novo mesto) has been concerned with the principle of repetition, copy and imitation. The photo-artist explores the fascinating diversity of meanings and variations of the "replica" with obvious pleasure, on a content-related and procedural level as well as by means of various references in photography and art history. In addition to his artistic work, Radovič is key to the Slovenian photo-scene graphy as an exhibition organiser, publisher and founder of Fotogalerie Novo mesto and House of Photography. | | | | | | | | | From the series Icon, 2004–2022
© Bojan Radovič, 2023 | | | On view are around 60 works, including photographs, installations and multimedia projects. PARADISE, PERFORMANCE, REPLICA. SLOVENIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC ART was curated by Celina Lunsford and co-curator Andrea Horvay. The exhibition is FFF’s contribution to Slovenia’s Guest of Honour programme at the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2023.
