Artist’s book
Les pensées
Artist’s book Les pensées contemplates my thoughts and feelings through cyanotypes and monotypes. Cyanotypes are showing photographs from my travels to Lanzarote and different shapes, and monotypes are showing some of my portrait illustrations and thoughts in Slovene, English, and French.

So, you're on Erasmus in your own country?
On my Erasmus+ exchange in Bratislava, Slovakia, I was photographing my daily life with intention of making a photo book.
Life in Bratislava seemed very chaotic to me even without photoshoping anything so I decided to manipulate photographs to make more chaos, to make the book ugly, but only sometimes. Therefore some photographs are actual originals, which is even more surprising for the reader. Despite my efforts to make it even uglier the book became a vivid, utopic representation of my impressions of this part of my life.
One time during my exhange, after telling I am from Slovenia, I got asked back: “So, you’re on Erasmus in your own country?” which seemed as a perfect title of this artist’s book.
