Bojan Radovič / Projekt Hirošima
Galerija Kocka, Novo mesto, Slovenija 6. 8. - 26. 9. 2025 ...
Življenje in spomin na uničenje ter ruševine kot spomeniki – vsi ti elementi se v Radovičevem projektu pojavijo istočasno in izjemno močno. Na eni strani imamo sodobno japonsko družbo, za katero Radovič uporabi estetiko ulične fotografije, fotografski dnevnik in reprezentacijo vsakodnevnih prostorov in identitet, na drugi pa zgodovino bombardiranja Hirošime. Radovič odlično izkoristi moč estetike »naključnega posnetka« vsakdanjega življenja, kar poveže s svojo intenzivno konceptualno fotografsko obravnavo atomskega bombardiranja Hirošime 6. avgusta 1945. ... Izsek iz eseja Marine Gržinić ...
These features, the life and memory of the destruction and the ruins as monuments, appear simultaneously and powerfully in this project by Radovič. On the one hand, there is contemporary Japanese society, for which Radovič uses the esthetics of street photography, the photo diary and the representation of everyday spaces and identities, and on the other, the history of the bombing of Hiroshima. Radovič makes excellent use of the power of the “snapshot aesthetic” for everyday life, which he combines with his intensely conceptual photographic view of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on the August 6, 1945. ...

Bojan Radovič / Hibakujumoku
Ex-Imperial Bank, Hirošima, Japonska 1. 8. - 18. 8. 2025 EXHIBITION AT 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF ATOMIC BOMB Hibakujumoku is an ongoing photographic art project
that began in 2014, when I visited Hiroshima for the first time. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the city’s unique atmosphere, a combination of quiet resilience and a powerful energy. It was as if the city itself was speaking to me, urging me to connect with its history and spirit. I had long felt a deep desire to visit, and the feeling I encountered there was something I could not ignore. This encounter sparked the beginning of my Hibakujumoku project, though it wasn’t until 2016 that I physically created my first piece. I chose to work with a hand scanner to capture these trees, as it allowed me to interact with their surfaces in a deeply personal way. This technique enabled me to touch the tree while simultaneously recording its “skin,” a tactile process that felt symbolic of both the destruction and survival of Hiroshima. The scanner’s imperfect quality was exactly what I wanted—it created abstract, metaphorical images that spoke more to emotion and memory than to documentary reality. Hibakujumoku is still very much a work in progress, reflecting my ongoing journey with Hiroshima—a city of unimaginable loss and extraordinary resilience. Each image in this series is both a testament to the past and a meditation on the possibility of healing and transformation

REPLIKA predstavlja več zaključenih serij fotografa Bojana Radoviča, ki z združitvijo v neke vrste "srednjekarierno" retrospektivo doživljajo nove intervencije z namenom razširiti medij fotografije na objekt. Razstavi bodo dodana tudi nova dela (2021‒2022), ki bodo izhajala iz osnovne teme Replika.
Bojan Radovič (1960) je slovenski fotograf srednje generacije, ki je v svoji karieri pogosto razstavljal doma in v tujini, nismo pa še imeli priložnosti videti njegove obsežnejše samostojne razstave. Na tokratni postavitvi bo pojav "replike" obravnavan v več samostojnih projektih, v vsebinski (repliciranje objekta/predmeta) in vizualni obliki (repliciranje motiva/zgodbe). Ob razstavi je izšla tudi monografija.
THE REPLICA represents several completed series by the photographer Bojan Radovič, which, by merging into a kind of "mid-career" retrospective, experience new interventions with the aim of expanding the medium of photography to the object. New works will also be added to the exhibition (2021‒2022), which will be based on the basic theme of Replica.
Bojan Radovič (1960) is a Slovenian photographer of the middle generation, who in his career often exhibited at home and abroad, but we have not yet had the opportunity to see his larger solo exhibition. At this presentation, the phenomenon of "replica" will be discussed in several independent projects, in terms of content (replicating an object/subject) and visual form (replicating a motif/story). A monograph was also published in conjunction with the exhibition. |
