Simon Chang: Dolls of the Valley

As part of the Visible-Invisible cycle — dedicated to presenting photographic projects that address themes often found “on the margins,” pushed aside and overlooked, frequently stigmatized and misunderstood by society — this year’s exhibition features Taiwan-born photographer Simon Chang, who lives and works in Slovenia.

The exhibited photographic series continues a multi-year project that the artist began in 2021 by photographing the Slovenian drag queen and drag king scene. Over the years, this sustained engagement has deepened his understanding of the community and its members, as well as his own personal experience of perceiving society, individual, and collective identity.
