The exhibition offers an unfamiliar perspective of Iraq through the eyes of a generation of young local photographers. The work of these photographers forms a unique and previously unseen view of Iraq and captures the fragmented picture of contemporary life across the country: from the vastness of the mountainous northern borderlands, to a multiplicity of scenes across the country, with the fading flashbacks of its recent history and the effects of the ongoing conflict.

Marc Riboud (1923–2016), a French photographer with a worldwide reputation, as part of the Magnum Photos agency, spent many years working as a photojournalist, while also building his own oeuvre of auteur photography, which developed mostly on his unbelievably numerous journeys around the world. 

This exhibition focuses on a selection of Magajna’s works that most clearly reveal his main motivations: his unconditional commitment to photography as a vocation and his deep desire to immortalise everything happening in Trieste and its surrounding area.

This retrospective of Tihomir Pinter’s analogue black and white photographs is the first major overview of his extensive oeuvre since the early 1960s. Pinter pursued his photography alongside his career as a chemist and pharmacist, and over the course of nearly six decades he has developed a distinctive individual style, using his own darkroom to perfect his classic photographic technique.

The Jakopič Gallery is happy to present, within The 32nd Biennial of Graphic Arts: Birth as Criterion, one of the most important representatives of Brazilian contemporary art and culture as well as an internationally renowned artist, Maria Bonomi.

#The Architect of Light" is the first retrospective exhibition of the architectural photography of Damjan Gale. An architect by profession, between 1974 and 1993 Gale created a striking photographic oeuvre. If Janez Kališnik is the pioneer of architectural photography in Slovenia, then Damjan Gale may be considered the first photographer to have encouraged theoretical reflections on architectural photography as a distinct genre, thereby leaving an indelible impression.
