Ivo Borko: V FOKUSU
24. 6. – 2. 8. 2025
Razstava “V fokusu« Iva Borka je spoj fotografije in filozofije, kjer je vsaka slika več kot le vizualni prikaz – je okno v notranji svet človeka in njegove interakcije z umetnostjo.
Borko mojstrsko uporablja razstavljena umetniška dela kot ozadje, ustvarjajoč nove pomene in čustvene izkušnje. Njegova dela niso le običajni portreti, temveč kompleksni narativi, ki povezujejo modele z motivi razstavljenih eksponatov. Ta simbioza med modelom in umetniškim delom ustvarja edinstveno umetniško celoto, kjer ima vsak element svojo vlogo in pomen.
Ivo Borko se ne boji eksperimentirati in uprizarjati svojih idej. Modeli v njegovih fotografijah niso le pasivni subjekti, temveč aktivni udeleženci pri ustvarjanju umetniškega dela. So mediji, s pomočjo katerih avtor izraža svojo vizijo in čustva ter ustvarja interakcijo, ki je globoko osebna in intimna.
Borkove fotografije nas spodbujajo k razmišljanju o lastnih interakcijah z umetnostjo. Kot gledalci se pogosto znajdemo v situaciji, ko snemamo selfije pred umetniškimi deli ali jih fotografiramo ter poskušamo ujeti tiste trenutke osebnih refleksij in emocij. Na tej razstavi Borku uspe ujeti prav te trenutke interakcij in jih spremeniti v umetnost.
“V fokusu” je razstava, ki ne zadovoljuje le vizualna čutila, temveč gledalce tudi spodbuja, da globlje razmišljamo o naši povezanosti z umetnostjo in svetom okoli nas. To je potovanje skozi svet čustev, refleksij in interakcij, kjer vsaka fotografija odpira vrata v novo izkušnjo in nov pomen.

Ivo Borko: IN FOCUS
The exhibition “In Focus” by Ivo Borko is a fusion of photography and philosophy, where each image is more than just a visual representation – it is a window into the inner world of the individual and their interaction with art.
Borko masterfully uses exhibited artworks as a backdrop, creating new meanings and emotional experiences. His works are not mere portraits but complex narratives that connect the models with the motifs of the displayed exhibits. This symbiosis between the model and the artwork forms a unique artistic whole, where every element has its own role and significance.
Ivo Borko is unafraid to experiment and stage his ideas. The models in his photographs are not passive subjects but active participants in the creation of the artwork. They are mediums through which the author expresses his vision and emotions, creating an interaction that is deeply personal and intimate.
Borko’s photographs encourage us to reflect on our own interactions with art. As viewers, we often find ourselves taking selfies in front of artworks or photographing them, trying to capture those fleeting moments of personal reflection and emotion. In this exhibition, Borko succeeds in capturing precisely those moments of interaction and transforming them into art.
“In Focus” is an exhibition that not only pleases the visual senses but also inspires viewers to think more deeply about our connection with art and the world around us. It is a journey through a world of emotions, reflections, and interactions, where each photograph opens the door to a new experience and a new meaning.
