Tereza Kozinc: How to photograph the wind?
World of Art | 20th Generation | Series of exhibitions in public space
4 November – 29 December 2025
TAM-TAM Street Gallery on Vegova ulica in Ljubljana
Opening: Tuesday, 4 November, 4 pm
The exhibition presents Tereza Kozinc’s ongoing project, which stems from her research into a family legend connected with the 16th-century privateers of Senj. They understood wind as a vital force – a bearer, guide and transformer of paths – and knew how to harness it for sailing, attacks and conquests. In the artist’s work, wind is not just a natural phenomenon, but a symbol of elusive power that shapes both Uskok and her own history, space and identity. The question of how to capture something invisible becomes a photographic method as well as a way of thinking about transferring memory through time. The artist connects historical memory with her own genealogy and, through photography, archives and fragments, translates it into a visual language that intertwines personal and collective narrative, thus confirming that the blood of the Senj privateers and ancestors from Oštrc runs in her own veins.
Tereza Kozinc (1985) is a Slovenian photographer and artist whose work explores the utopian home between the emotional and the geographical. Her practice, which borders between dairy and documentary, passes from reality to surrealism and is shaped by motherhood, roots, feminism and the darkroom. She is the recipient of the Fotofever Award, a member of the Futures Photography Platform and part of the Reflexions 2.0 community. Her book 7AM was published by IIKKI and ranked among the highlights of the Photo Basel 2023 fair by The Guardian.
