O SERIJI

Pinter se predstavlja s fotografijami s svojih sprehodov po stari Ljubljani. Pred nami je svojevrsten hommage mestu, v katerem se je po številnih popotovanjih in selitvah po tedanji Jugoslaviji z družino ustalil leta 1970 in za katerega danes pravi, da je njegovo. Fotografije so iz časa po njegovi preselitvi v Ljubljano v sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja pa vse do novejših del, nastalih v zadnjih letih. Neumorno sprehaja svoj fotoaparat in lovi urbane motive. Mesto doživlja skozi objektiv in spremlja njegovo spreminjanje v času. Tihomir Pinter nas s kančkom nostalgije vabi, da z njim delimo spomine na Ljubljano, kakršna je nekoč bila, pa tudi podoživljamo kotičke današnje Ljubljane skozi zorni kot tihega in rahločutnega opazovalca večnega spreminjanja in minevanja. Njegove fotografije stare Ljubljane prikazujejo to, kar tudi sami srečujemo vsak dan; zaradi načina, kako je to vsakdanje prikazano, pa nas hkrati spodbujajo k razmisleku o preteklem času. A časa ni mogoče upodobiti. Fotografija lahko ujame le sledi, ki jih čas pušča za seboj

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.
