THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE WORLD

The title of this photo series work stems from the promotional phrase of current Ljubljana mayor who denoted the capital as the most beautiful city in the world.

In their ongoing project, entitled “The Most Beautiful City in the World” (2014-2019) Matjaž Rušt & Robert Marin are persistently creating the visual diary of Ljubljana. 

The title of the work stems from the promotional phrase of current Ljubljana mayor who denoted the capital as the most beautiful city in the world. On the contrary, the artists are not focused on the representative imagery of the city, but rather on the hidden spaces of everyday life. In a manner of street photography they document real situations and places, the ones that give the city its indelible character. 

Despite the omnipresent humour the work does not express cynicism or sarcasm, neither towards the people depicted, nor towards the city itself, but rather only the state of affairs as they are.

JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF MOST

Czech photographer Stanislav Palát is the definition of a one-man creative army. In the true spirit of “if it doesn’t exist, make it yourself”, he handles his own set design, lighting, makeup, 3D modelling, accessories, grading, and an array of other skills. The result is photographs with a touch of “Neo-Romantism”, fantasy, and exciting imaginary worlds, straddling the line between a fairytale and a fever dream. Enjoy the interview with the artist below.
