RIPPLES A Visual Diary of Water
14. 2. 2023–4. 6. 2023
The exhibition project Ripples is based on a re-questioning of gallery settings practice whether expensive frames, large formats and high-end display equipment really make the photographs and the exhibition more meaningful. Over 15 years of activity in Jakopič Gallery we have accumulated a lot of materials, which will be up-cycled through a co-creative process. The core visual story is narrated by cutting-edge water-themed photographs from the archives of the Dutch photography agency NOOR Images.

After being with us for more than seven months, we have now said goodbye to the incredible exhibition, which was realised in extraordinary times.
