Boris Gaberščik (1957) is widely acclaimed for his recognisable analogue still life photography, in which he plays with objects, light and composition to produce new visual and contextual meanings. His works are internationally recognised and included in many museum and private collections. He has received several awards for his works, which have been presented in publications in Slovenia and abroad. In 2018 he received a Prešeren Foundation Award, the highest national award in the field of arts, selected and granted by the Prešeren Foundation. His works have been presented at Paris Photo (2010, 2011), Photo Basel (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022) and viennacontemporary (2019, 2021, 2022), among other fairs. Since 1985 he has had many solo exhibitions in Ljubljana, Slovenia (Gallery Equrna, Museum of Modern Art), Graz (Orpheum), Salzburg (Gallery Fotohof), Warsaw (ZPAF), Paris (VU') and has participated in group exhibitions all over the world.
Stojan Kerbler (1938) was born at Ptujska Gora. He was first proclaimed best exhibitor in Slovenia in 1969 and best exhibitor in Yugoslavia in 1970 (A FIAP). Since then he received several awards for his work in photography, among them the prestigious award of the Prešeren foundation in 1979 and an award for the highest achievement in art by the president of Slovenia. In 1977, the People of Haloze series was exhibited in the gallery of Eastman Kodak Company. In 1980 he received the FIAP Gold Medal for the exhibition in Landerneau, France. Stojan Kerbler has received a total of 500 awards and prizes of which 120 were at international exhibitions. His works have been presented at more than 100 solo exhibitions in Slovenia, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Soviet Union, Spain, USA and Yugoslavia. In 2018 he exhibited in Ljubljana's Museum of Modern Art with a large retrospective exhibition. An overview catalogue was released along with the exhibition.
Jadran Lazić, the first Yugoslav paparazzo, began his career in 1971 by photographing Hajduk in his hometown of Split and continued with Charlotte Rampling in Paris. He achieved world fame when, at the funeral of Soviet President Brezhnev, he managed to take a close-up photo of the deceased, which Newsweek later chose as the photo of the year. We can say that there is no Hollywood star and celebrity of the 70s and 80s who were not caught by Lazić's lens, from Yugoslav Dino Dvornik, Mišo Kovač, Suzana Mančić, Dražen Petrović and many others, to Jodie Foster, Gillian Anderson, Sylvester Stallon, Roman Polanski, Robert De Niro, Jamie Foxx, Abu Abbas, Johnny Depp, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Elizabeth Taylor, David Bowie, Bianca Jagger, Kirk Douglas, Sigourney Weaver, Jack Nicholson, Carlo Ponti, Sofia Loren, Marlon Brando, Richard Gere and many others.
Sergio Scabar (Ronchi dei Legionari, 1946–2019) became interested in photography in 1964. From 1966 to 1974, he occasionally took part in national and international competitions, using photography mainly for documentary and reportage purposes. Later, in the 1980s, his work underwent a fundamental change, as the human figure disappeared and his interest shifted to nature. In 1996, he began to use a unique technique of "alchemical" printing with silver salts in his series The Theatre of Things/Il Teatro delle cose.
Luzia Simons (born in Quixada, Ceara, Brazil) is a graduate in History and Fine Arts at the Sorbonne University in Paris. She continued her studies in Stuttgart and now lives and works in Berlin, Germany. With regular exhibitions in Europe and Brazil, Luzia’s works make it possible to experience divergence. She developed her own shooting technique, the scanogram – a way of looking at things without a central angle or focus where all details become heightened. Her artistic focus is primarily on the diversity and plurality of perceptions in relation to their different cultural heritage. Her flowers appear in her works as signifiers of historic, cultural, or colonial meanings and are used to discuss the question of social identity and globalization. Her works appear in public and private collections around the globe, among them Deutscher Bundestag, Berlin; Fonds National d Art Contemporain, Paris-Ile de France, France; Casa de las Américas, Havana, Cuba; Pirelli/ Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brasil; Dansk Bibliotekscenter, Denmark, and many others.
