Tu-biti. Dasein. Pobyt. A personal project I did during my one-year European Voluntary Service in Slovenia. Using an analog camera with high sensitive black and white film and a 28mm wide-angle lens, I tried to capture this country as accurately as possible. Beautiful nature with high mountains, picturesque rural areas, dilapidated buildings in the old town of Maribor, but also the social reality like the still persisting Yugo-nostalgia.
