Med ledom in svetlobo je novo fotografsko delo slovenskega fotografa in režiserja Cirila Jazbeca, ki raziskuje življenja mladih Inuitov na Grenlandiji in krhki prag med dediščino prednikov ter negotovo prihodnostjo. Preko portretov in atmosferičnih prizorov serija odseva vzdržljivost, kulturno izročilo in intimni proces odraščanja v enem najbolj oddaljenih krajev sveta.

Ujeti med nestabilno prisotnostjo taljenja ledu in preoblikovalnimi silami sodobnosti mladi Grenlandci iščejo ravnotežje med vprašanji identitete, pripadnosti in preživetja. Delo, zasidrano v več kot desetletnem Jazbečevem raziskovanju Arktike in nadgrajeno z njegovim dokumentarnim filmom SILA, ponuja surovo in poetično meditacijo o mladosti, ujeta med preteklostjo in prihodnostjo.

Projekt je nastal s podporo National Geographic Society. Med ledom in svetlobo je bil izbran za Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2025 v National Portrait Gallery v Londonu.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Between Ice and Light is a new body of work by Slovenian photographer and film director Ciril Jazbec, exploring the lives of Inuit youth in Greenland and the fragile threshold between ancestral traditions and uncertain futures. Through portraits and atmospheric scenes, the series reflects on resilience, heritage, and the intimate process of coming of age in one of the world’s most remote landscapes.

Suspended between the unstable presence of melting ice and the transformative forces of modernity, the work traces the journeys of young Greenlanders as they navigate questions of identity, belonging, and survival. Rooted in a decade-long engagement in the Arctic and extending from Jazbec’s documentary film SILA, the series offers a raw and poetic meditation on youth caught between past and future.

Supported by the National Geographic Society, Between Ice and Light has been selected for the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2025 at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
