About the exhibition:
The exhibition A Matter of View showcases a mid-career retrospective of photographer and artist Jaka Babnik, who in the past nearly twenty years, roughly in the period 2007-2026, made and publicly presented number of impactful pieces, both in the form of an exhibition and a photobook. In his artistic practice, he analyses a wide variety of contemporary social and societal phenomena through images. His central creative process is to observe and document changes in the cultural landscape of his immediate surroundings, which are always conditioned by complex historical, social, and political circumstances. The range of phenomena that he addresses in his works is diverse and reflects his profound interest in the general state of mind within contemporary society, which is faced with numerous internal paradoxes and imbalances.
