The book Opium Clippers is a combination of images and texts through which the artist narrates stories based on documents while, at the same time, consciously transitioning from the factual to the symbolic level of this issue.

Photography is inevitably related to the idea of passing away and to death because the image, frozen in time, will sooner or later come to represent (only) a dead being or matter.

The sculpture, complete with keyboard, accordion and traditional umbrella, symbolises the music of Avsenik Ensemble. It was designed by Klemen Rodman who aimed to conjure the touching and withdrawing of the backdrop of keyboard and accordion and the contact of the sculpture with the mountains Triglav, Golica and Roblek.

ROSTFREIPUBLISHING

Rostfrei Publishing started as an idea of creating a platform for bringing to light visual content we find inspiring, critical and inventive.
That is what we did for many years with a trans-Balkan street magazine called Kontejner

INDIGO FESTIVAL, Nobody Cares? 11. 9.–13. 9. 2019
All we want is peace and quiet. We withdraw to detachment, vegging out in privacy, until someone knocks on our door. Personal integrity and the possibility of solidarity have been taken away from us, while, squinting over our bedsheets, we gloomily observe world events or simply lock our hearts away to guard them from the evil. Should we care? Perhaps the last stanza of the European anthem Ode to Joy exposes some of these antagonisms: “Yes – he too who but one being on this earth can call his own! He who ne’er was able, weeping stealeth from this league alone!”
LOCATIONS: Ljubljana -Trg francoske revolucije, Gosposka ulica, Križevniška ulica, Novi trg, Ambrožev trg square park
