Svečinčani
The project Svečinčani is a 6 years long documentation of local people from a small village in Slovenia, near the Austrian border, called Svečina. It started as a school project in 2015 and was gradually developed in a photo book which was presented for my graduation. I connected portrait photography with its psychological background, with the help of Jung's theory of personality. The self, is what Jung calls the whole spectrum of psychic phenomena in the person, which represents the union of the personality as a whole. Then, there is the shadow, that is made up of all the human qualities that makes the need for the mask the greatest and it exists as a piece of the unconscious mind, By understanding and accepting the archetypes I was able to approach to the individuals and build photographs on the basis of these. It resulted as a visual narrative, wrapped in a book.
