ABOUT THE SERIES
Pinter is putting on view the photographs taken during his walks around the Ljubljana old town, to pay homage to the city where, after travelling and moving extensively across the former Yugoslavia, he settled with his family in 1970 and which he now calls his own. Photographs are ranging from the time after his move to Ljubljana in the 1970s, to the newer works created recently. Pinter tirelessly walks his camera in pursuit of urban motifs, experiencing the city through the lens, carefully observing its changes in time. With a touch of nostalgia, Tihomir Pinter invites us to share his memories of Ljubljana as it used to be, and re-visit some spots of today’s Ljubljana through the eyes of a quiet, sensitive observer of eternal change and passing. Depicting what anyone living in the city can see daily, his photographs of old Ljubljana encourage reflection about the times past precisely through the way this everyday reality is depicted. Time, however, cannot be rendered. Photography can merely capture the traces time leaves behind.
