O SERIJI
Boris Gaberščik nas v svojih fotografijah vedno znova sooča s predmeti, ki so plod njegovega načrtnega zbirateljstva. V ateljeju v svoji zbirki hrani predmete, ki jih je našel na potovanjih, v bližnji ali daljni okolici. Predmeti iz vsakdanjega življenja ljudi postanejo v njegovih umetninah edini akterji, velikokrat postavljeni tako, da se zdi, kot da se nahajajo v skrajni situaciji ravnotežja. Njihova prvobitnost ima izrazito uporaben namen. Z njimi tvori in ustvarja kompozicije.
Posebnost serije kompozicij so predmeti v poltemi, v nedoločljivem prostoru, usmerjeni z natančno določljivo svetlobo, ki prehaja navadno z desne strani. V nekaterih fotografijah se v kompoziciji naključno ali nenaključno pojavi tudi videz človeške figure.
Kljub njihovim največkrat jasno razvidnim namembnostim pridobijo v avtorjevih fotografijah poduhovljen, eteričen videz. Tudi v predmetih, katerih uporabnosti ne prepoznamo, se zrcali njihov skrivnostni pomen.
Če ne bi vedeli, da je Boris Gaberščik ustvaril fotografije izključno za tokratno razstavo, bi jim lahko pripisali tudi nedoločljiv čas nastanka. Njegove fotografije so brezčasne in vedno znova inovativno ustvarjene v črno-beli analogni tehniki. Mrtva narava v njegovih fotografijah ponazarja samo življenje.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Boris Gaberščik keeps challenging the viewer with objects that come from his carefully planned collection activities. His studio is full of things that he has found on his travels to places near and far. He turns objects from everyday life into the main actors of his works, often looking as if they are about to lose balance. They display a strong sense of utility because he uses them to create compositions.
This time around the compositions consist of objects in semi-darkness, in an unidentifiable space and lit by a precise ray of light coming from the right. In some photographs, however, he intentionally or unintentionally introduces human figures in the compositions.
Although they usually have a clear purpose, the author gives them a more spiritual and ethereal feel. Even the objects with an unclear purpose somehow manage to show their hidden meaning.
If you hadn’t known that Boris Gaberščik had created these photographs exclusively for this exhibition, you may not have been able to determine their age. His photographs are timeless owing to the constantly innovative black and white analogue technique. Still life in his photographs actually depicts life.
