Žiga Koritnik: Cloud 9

Photo exhibition marking the 60th Jazz festival Ljubljana

For a decade and a half Žiga Koritnik has curated photo exhibitions at Cankarjev dom, especially showcases accompanying the Ljubljana Jazz Festival. To mark the special anniversary of the festival, this brilliant photographer will hold a one-man exhibition. Recently published to enthusiastic praise, Koritnik’s extensive monograph includes a plaudit from American multi-instrumentalist, Joe McPhee: Žiga is a ‘Muse-ician,’ one who makes magic with the muses. With his mind’s eye, he has the ability to move faster than the speed of light, to capture moments in time and share them with the world through his photographs. The camera in his hands transforms shadow and light from commonplace into truly extraordinary human experiences. He is an improviser, a chronicler of life in real time, a poet, a philosopher, a free spirit, a song in anticipation of being sung.”
