A land that is so different from where I was born and yet the snow tastes the same. Disappeared on 21.7.2017. We never found any remains. Stenli became a metaphor for my utopian search of a home; in a forest in a river, at night and in all the creatures that were a part of our pack.
Tereza Kozinc
Tereza Kozinc (1985) was born in Slovenia, at that time Yugoslavia and is currently living between Ljubljana and Paris. In 2011 she finished her studies at the Institute and Academy for Multimedia in Ljubljana.
She has been changing places from Slovenia to Greece for nearly a decade and after to Paris - for a quest of a home while on the other side she was always urged by the necessity to move. This is also the main focus she explores in her work, the question of her home, geographically as well as emotionally. Tereza’s life can be read within her photographic motives, her work stretches between diary and documentary photography, characterized by a minimalist reality that grows into surreality. Based on intuition and on her everyday life, the images spread from the north of Japan to the south of her kitchen. She is a self-thought photographer, mostly using 35mm film.
In 2020 she was the winner of Fotofever prize, the photo fair held every year in the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Her work was exhibited at Voies Off in Arles, La Nuu Photo Festival in Catalonia, at Institut Francais in Phnom Penh, Analixforever Gallery in Geneva, Inselgalerie in Berlin, Photon Gallery in Ljubljana, etc. She selfpublished photozines that were exhibited at Athens Photo Festival.
