Final guided tour through the exhibition Fragments of Time: Miroslav Zdovc and the Photography Scene

Thursday, 28 March 2024 at 5pm

Before the closure of the exhibition the public guided tour conducted by the curator Miha Colner will take place.

The exhibition Fragments of Time: Miroslav Zdovc and the Photography Scene showcases the oeuvre of Miroslav Zdovc, one of the most acclaimed and significant photographers in Slovenian cultural milieu, who actively worked from the early 1950s to the early 1990s. Furthermore, the exhibition confronts his works with the works of photographers and artists who were, in one way or another, connected to Zdovc and who place his creative practice within a wider context of time and place. These are: Josip Pelikan, Marko Gosar, Boris Gaberščik, and Tomaž Gregorič.

The exhibition is organised on the occasion of the final processing and systematization of Zdovc’s photographic archive that came to Galerija Božidar Jakac as a donation. Zdovc’s work is presented in the context of the wider zeitgeist in which he lived and worked, since he had been absent from actively working within photography and art scene for many years. His work had thus almost disappeared from the public discourse nearly forty years after the end of his active years as an artist (mid-1980s), thirty years after the end of his professional photographic career (early 1990s), and almost fifteen years after his death (2009).

The exhibition is on display until 31 March 2024.
