“The group exhibition at the Photon Gallery will present the activities of the photographic group Fotogrupa ŠOLT on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of its foundation in 1963, focusing on the period after the merger with Fotoklub Ljubljana in 1968, when the group began to operate under the name “Fotogrupa Ljubljana ŠOLT”. The exhibition will examine the importance of the group for the development of the photographic scene in Ljubljana and Slovenia and present its diverse international activities. It will also highlight the photographic approaches of the 1960s and 1970s in the choice of motifs and techniques of the exhibited artists. The works of eight photographers will be presented, who during the period of the group’s activity, due to their high artistic and technical perfection and their frequent international exhibitions, attained the title of “Master of Photography”, awarded at that time by the Photographers’ Association of Yugoslavia.”
