MATJAZ TANCIC | MIMICRY: Concealing. Hiding. Blending.
Matjaz Tancic visually integrates man with both natural and urban landscapes through the exciting, new medium of 3D photography. The photographs on display in this exhibition were shot in seven locations in London and Slovenia. By creating a direct correlation between the styling and posing of each model and their environment, Tancic cleverly accentuates the stark contrast between these two opposite settings. This clever, duplicit presentation allows the viewer to visually jump from city to country, almost physically even, through the medium of 3D.
3D films have been around since the 1950s, but due to the very specific technical processes that must be used to render this medium successfully, it seems that photographers have been reluctant to incorporate these techniques into their artistic practices. While the public is very familiar with 3D videos and movies, 3D photography is very rarely seen. In Slovenia, Matjaz Tancic recently finished shooting the first ever fashion magazine done entirely in 3D, and combined with this groundbreaking exhibition he is taking large strides towards pioneering the incorporation of 3D imagery into contemporary photography.
MATJAZ TANCIC (b. 1982) is a young Slovenian photographer who lives and works between London and Ljubljana. Tancic, impressively, has already been featured in ten solo exhibitions and 38 group exhibitions across Europe. He was among the six finalists in the 2009 “Google Photography Prize” contest, a worldwide competition of more than 3,500 photographers.
With such an impressive start to his carrier and genuinely unique approach to creating a photograph, Matjaz Tancic is one of contemporary photography’s future stars.
