Exhibition: Close your eyes.
Photographic works by Nika Špan and Richard Whitlock
Equrna gallery, Ljubljana
27. 8.–26. 9. 2024
Photography seems to verify that the way we see the world is the right way. But when we close our eyes things continue to exist quite happily on their own, in a space undefined by human eyes and camera lenses. The works of Nika Špan and Richard Whitlock throw doubt on the way we visualise the world, and the way we photograph it, Whitlock by abandoning the single viewpoint of the lens, Špan by photographing the photographic moment itself. They place us in the zone of innocence before the click of the camera made us self-conscious – before objectivity, before science, before utility.
