Talk and screening
Thursday, 4 December 2025, 7 pm
Photon Gallery, Trg Prekomorskih brigad 1, Ljubljana
Versatile artist Andrej Štular will present his artistic practice, spanning several years, in which he intertwines various media, including comics, photography, film, puppets, collage, assemblage, and light installations. He will present his creative processes, from sketching, documenting, using found objects, recycling, and making objects and puppets. The focus of the evening will be on the author’s audiovisual production, which includes experimental, animated, and documentary short films, both analog and digital. In them, he scratches directly onto film stock, colors, recycles, experiments, animates using stop motion, and transitions between different moving image media through dubbing.
At one of Štular’s many exhibitions, Matjaž Brulc wrote that the author “plays with the shifting of high and low, valuable and ephemeral, found and created, and, last but not least, the original and the copy, thereby emphasizing the ambiguity or non-self-evident nature of the origins and concepts of what is seen, as well as everything that belongs to the domain of broader culture.”
Andrej Štular (1967, Kranj) is an artist who works in various artistic fields. He equally combines the fields of illustration and comics, painting, sculpture, photography, and film, as well as puppet and set design. He exhibits at solo and group exhibitions in Slovenia and participates in international festivals (Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Macedonia, Morocco, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, etc.). Štular has published seven books: Lustri (2000), Kompost (2008), Živa sem! (2011), Bežimo, svet se podira! (2014), Kronike (2015), Medved (2019), Ostri ritmi (2021). He has received several awards for his work in the fields of illustration, puppetry, and film. (Photo: Ana Štular)
