Mariovo – A Land of the Elderly

Culture, 
Date: 25 Jan 2012
Venue: Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana,
Price: Free

The photo exhibition by Vančo Ivanov, Macedonian photographer and filmmaker from Radoviš, and award-winning Slovenian author and publicist Nina Kokelj illustrates the memory of the elderly inhabitants of a remote, picturesque, undisclosed, as yet undiscovered and unique landscape – Mariovo in south Macedonia. Through the shots, new bonds are forged with them. Spotlighting the elderly, their stories and archetypal beauty, as well as the universal issue of bridging the generation gap, the exhibition has been devised as an intricate, conceptual collage of black-and-white photos – portraits of old men and women.
