Before the opening of the exhibition The World is Ending Again by young photographer Ana Zibelnik in the UGM Studio, we would like to invite you to the artist talk.

Maribor Art Gallery is presenting the first solo show in Slovenia by a young photographer Ana Zibelnik (b. 1995, Ljubljana), based in The Hague, Netherlands. She holds a BA in Visual Communication from the University of Ljubljana and an MA in Film and Photographic Studies from Leiden University. She explores the topics of death, longevity and the perception of time, intersecting them with ecology and reflecting on the current status of humans as actors on this planet. Her practice combines a research-based approach with poetic interpretation, often drawing inspiration from literature. She currently works as a freelance curator and editor for the Dutch cultural producer Paradox. You can read her CV here.

At UGM we met the promising photographer at PARALLEL, a European platform for the international promotion and education of young European photographers, of which the Maribor Art Gallery is a founding member. Ana Zibelnik is the recipient of the GUP New Dutch Photography Talent Award 2020 and was selected by the British Journal of Photography: Ones to Watch in 2020. She is presenting two photographic series at the UGM Studio - Immortality is Commonplace (2020-ongoing) & We Are The Ones Turning (2019-2020).
