Nova zemlja / Tišina = A New Earth / Silence

Stekleni negativi so nastali z ogromno kamero mehovko, formata 40x50cm ali 16×20″ po postopku mokri kolodij na steklu. Fotografije pa so narejene na steklu v prav tako pionirski fotografski tehniki iz leta 1855, pigmentirano-želatinski print (carbon transfer print) na steklu.

Serijo je inspiriralo delo Ane Mendiete, ki je v gozdu izvajala rituale in jih dokumentirala. Tudi Peterlinove fotografije v sozvočju z njegovo poezijo, so kot nekakšni rituali, ki čistijo, ozaveščajo in zdravijo. Knjiga je natisnjena po najnovejši tiskarski tehniki, Staccato FM printing, ki dodajo še dodatno dimenzijo natisnjenim fotografijam.

ENGLISH:

The New Earth project talks about the human condition, reconnection with nature, the zeitgeist we are living. On the other hand the poems are offering insight into the personal questions and the relationship of an individual and the society. During the lockdown I went deep into the woods, reconnected with nature, connected with myself, avoided bears and ticks while making ultra large wet plate collodion glass negatives, size 40x50cm or 16×20”.

Inspired by the work of Ana Mendieta, my photography is a document of the rituals performed, questions asked, vibrating vibrations and the given answers. All these photos are carbon contact prints on glass from wet plate collodion negatives. Size of the image is 40x50cm.

This project was exhibited in 2022 in Sazu, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2023 in Dolenjski muzej, Novo mesto, Slovenia, in 2024 Krajský úřad, Brno, Czech Republic, Galerie Jakubska, Prague, Czech Republic, Igreja de Santiago | Galeria de Arte, Monsaraz, Portugal and in Fotogalerija Stolp, Maribor, Slovenia.
