Curator Dejan Sluga guides visitors through the exhibition and explains the background and its development history. METAMORPHOSIS OF THE MIND Stane Jagodič established himself in the Slovenian and broader Central Eastern European space as one of the most original artists, redefining the boundaries of the photographic medium in the 1970s. His approach was marked by an exceptional experimentalism that came to light especially in his montages and collages, where he combined photographs with found materials, words, graphics, and X-rays. Furthermore, he began to combine performance and photography, and is also considered a pioneer of abstract photography. Jagodič’s photomontages and photocollages were not merely formal inventions but vehicles of sharp social and political critique. His images combine elements of absurdity, grotesque, and irony, often with visual quotes of contemporary technology and industry, commenting on the dehumanization of everyday life. In this respect, he draws on the legacy of Dadaism and Surrealism while establishing a dialogue with contemporary neo-avantgarde movements.
