Jumping with Kayak over waterfalls with a 10 kg camera case! EPIC FAIL! / Vlog #121

Jumping with Kayak over waterfalls with a 10 kg camera case! EPIC FAIL! / Vlog #121

Zdravo! In this episode I am learning how to jump with kayak on which I’ve installed 10 kg camera suitcase. It’s not the easiest, but persistence is my super-power, so I went back and learned how to make a recovery with the suitcase on board. I am going to the woodland this week and on the river.

Enjoy the summer and may the topshit be with you!

Some of you are following my vlogs regularly and you could see how this project developed.

The exhibition is in ZRC, Novi Trg2, Ljubljana, Slovenia and it’s open until 17.7.2021

Feels Like Home, Tulips / vlog #117

In this vlog I’m sharing with you my time in the woodland. For the new viewers, I’ve bought this cabin in the middle of the woodland of Kočevski Rog, Slovenia. As you can see, time took toll and nobody were living here in the past ten years. I’m not afraid of work and I see no problems, just some challenges in the midst of tranquillity of the place.

The print is available in my shop: https://www.borutpeterlin.com/shop/ph…​

About my project Feels Like home.
Five years ago I had a divorce and break up of 21 years long relationship. I’ve started a project Feels Like Home where I’m domesticating the places I find myself in. My favourite method of domestication are flower bouquets and ritual called wet plate photography. Art is bringing peace to me.

Timeless Documentary Photography / Simon Norfolk / vlog 116

Dear viewers,
this is my newest photobook reaction, AFGHANISTAN: CHRONOTOPIA – Simon Norfolk. It’s another classic photobook that inspired me hugely. I hope you will enjoy the vlog, although you could sense I was tired.

I have an assistant now and I need to reorganise my workday. I will open a new channel for photobook reviews and keep this channel focused on my art and the darkroom witchcraft. I am taking this job as a vlogger more and more seriously, since from the beginning of the pandemic I am making about 90% of income from my art and youtube vlogs are my main way of marketing.

Anyway, I have already record a new vlog with my art. It’s from a project Feels Like Home. By the end of the week I’ll publish it.
May the topshit be with you,
Borut

Feeling sorry for the super rich: Dougie Wallace / Harrodsburg / Vlog 112

This Photo Book Reaction is about Dougie Wallace and his book Harrodsburg. A story about the desperate super rich. http://www.dougiewallace.com/harrodsburg​ If you want to buy the book I recommend to buy it at the Dewi Lewis Publishing House: https://www.dewilewis.com/products/ha…​

I started this vlog to draw comparisons about Jan van Eyck painting of Arnolfini Portrait and Dougie Wallace, but then I’ve edit it out, because I want to focus on photography. Nevertheless both artists are dealing with the same subject, rich showing their wealth in an attempt of gaining status. If Van Eyeck’s painting does serve good to the Arnolfini’s status, Wallace is slashing the myths of the rich, so the viewer feels sorry for these kind of people. Wonderful stories of art! Let me know if you like this format, it will take another week or so to go back to the woods, so until then, I might make another photobook reaction.

The best photographers are painters! Alexander Rodchenko / Topsheet Photography 110

In my new series of vlogs I’m talking about artists that are inspiring me, why and how they are inspiring me. Disclaimer: I’m not an art historian or an art critic, this is purely a personal taste of an artist, therefore nothing to defend or oppose to. But please I am open for a debate, and all even totally opposite views, as long they are respectful, I warmly welcome!
