Peter Gedei: Subterranean Worlds

Cankarjev dom Exhibitions Peter Gedei: Subterranean Worlds

Small Gallery will be closed to the general public on 10 June. Thank you for your understanding.

A keen explorer of the underground world, Gedei has pursued cave photography since the early 1990s, achieving world-renown as a major cave photographer. Involving absence of light, cave photography is a challenging pursuit. Photographers must thus think creatively about ways to illuminate the dark caverns. Artworks of great power, Gedei’s photographs reveal the artist’s extensive experience and a heightened sense of space, light and aesthetic. A blank canvas on which one paints with light, cave photography requires a full application of one’s abilities and resources but is well worth the effort.

“Explorers of new caves like to communicate the beauties of subterranean worlds to the broader public, people who will never have the opportunity to descend into unknown depths after a new crevice has widened. But we know what it means to take photos in complete darkness.” (jospdtrst.org)
