“For photographers frame is where the picture be

“For photographers frame is where the picture begins, not just some place where the picture has to end. It is the beginning of the structure of the picture. It is the beginning of the picture's geometry. Frame also creates relationships that also don't exist in the world by emphasis. By grouping things in a frame it draws attention to relationships and a very slight movement of a frame can radically alter the meaning of the picture.” @stephen.shore

Understanding frame just as a frame…

Year in numbers… I failed miserably, coming 4.368 km and 27.474 meters of elevation gain short of target set for 2021. This only means a lot more returning calls from my side in 2022.

Less than a week to the “Exercises in Style” exhibition and newspaper launch.

“But what would have happened had I made this series with a clear aim of following predictable formulas, taking into account all transformative tools and art theory, to make images that, in terms of content, were not conveying anything? How would it affect the viewer trying to grasp the mental image, looking for clues and meanings (apophenia comes to mind) where, in fact, there were none?

But am I really able to distance myself and change my learned ways of seeing?”

“In a way, the series of photographs is a result

“In a way, the series of photographs is a result of exercises in knowledge of art theory which is indispensable tool for creative work in the wider field of visual culture. At the same time, art theory is the foundation to determine rules, patterns and formulas that artists and creators, whether they like it or not, have to follow because they have been proven effective.” @miha_colner

Exercises in Style opening tomorrow at Gallery SPOT (13.9. - 8.10.2021). Talk starting at 18:00, opening at 19:00.

“In his recent series Exercises in Style Jaka Babnik focuses on some of the most fundamental questions about creating photographic and/or art works. In a manner of stylistic exercises he explores transformative tools and unwritten criteria that enable, and constitute, so called quality photograph or work of art, both from the point of view of its technical and formal implementation, as well as in terms of choice of subject matter and its intended purpose. He is interested in images which are, due to one's trained cultural and aesthetic codes, visually attractive and formally faultless; however, these images on their own may not convey nothing in particular.” -Miha Colner
