Klavdij Sluban: Elsewhere Here
Photomonograph, 2nd revised and expanded edition
The first edition of Klavdij Sluban’s photomonograph Nekje drugje Tukaj / Elsewhere Here, published to accompany the current exhibition at the Jakopič Gallery, sold out at the end of May. For this reason, we have prepared a revised and expanded international edition of the book in four languages – Slovene, English, French, and German. The photomonograph, which features around 150 of Sluban’s works, is introduced by an expert essay by Dr. Marija Skočir, the exhibition’s curator and the publication’s editor.
In her text, she writes that Klavdij Sluban is “an artist who has no home, yet is at home everywhere his spirit can anchor itself in a calming restlessness“. “Although painful, this restlessness is profoundly creative, driving the photographer through countless steps taken. (…) For Sluban, the process of photographing is a vital necessity, tied to the need to continually shift the place of his presence. The real work begins only when the time comes for editing, selecting, and discarding. This sometimes happens much later—perhaps only after he has returned from his next journey through the same places,” she adds.

The monograph is also available in a limited edition of 25 specially designed and crafted collector’s copies, each including a signed and numbered analogue photograph by Klavdij Sluban, measuring 24 × 18 cm. The package also contains the first, now sold-out version of the book.
