Tihomir Pinter, Roman Uranjek & Tadej Vaukman
The artists who joined forces for the Jesenice Project are Roman Uranjek, Tihomir Pinter and Tadej Vaukman. In the project, they focused on Jesenice, the mining centre of the Gorenjska region. However, the town of Jesenice is only a backdrop in this project, which in reality is an exploration of each other's artistic practices.
The collaboration was started by Roman Uranjek, a visual artist and longtime member of the IRWIN group, who deals with various ways of appropriation and building of the new inside the existing in his practice. Although Uranjek doesn't consider himself a photographer, he is fascinated by photography as a medium and uses it both autonomously as well as a part of his signature collages. Uranjek is an artist, who is deeply involved in the broader art scene and frequently collaborates with other artists 鈥� he considers himself a collectivist at heart. Thus, one of his projects, devoted to cooperating with photographers, is The Storefront, in which he has already performed twelve artistic projects (with Stojan Kerbler, Igor Andjeli膰, Uro拧 Abram, Meta Krese, Aleksandra Vajd and others).
In The Storefront series, Uranjek enters a place significant to the artist and approaches it with his own interventions. He applies different artistic actions onto the storefronts of a given place, most frequently by adding his signature Greek (Malevi膷) cross. He sees storefronts as spaces that define the passing of time, quickly forgotten with their ephemeral nature. The Covid-19 pandemic, during which the Jesenice project was performed, corroborated this theory, as many once successful shops had to empty their storefronts and close their doors. With his artistic intervention into these spaces, Uranjek draws attention to the transience of all things not immortalized by art.
