Topshit Centre of Photography opens!

Today was a great day. Months of preparations, planning and hard work calumniated in the introduction of the house of Sitarjeva hiša in a new role. We’ve installed a darkroom, daylight working room, chilling room, a gallery and a dance room!

The house was made in 1887, but it was for last seventeen years abandoned. It does not have running water, electricity or heating. But We will change that. We are changing that! With the generous help of Anže Grabeljšek, Nastja Frey Gorše, Sanja Gorišek and municipality of Dolenjske Toplice, we are reviving the house in the centre of Dolenjske Toplice.

Everything is ready for the beginning of the topshit photography workshop in the centre of the topshit world! Expect more news from the workshop, expect traveling, adventure, weird creatures in castles, driving off road, swimming, rafting, camping, visiting museum collections and foremost making wet plate collodion negatives, salt prints and albumen prints.

Oh… Today we had a visit already! On Sunday I was portraying on the streets of Ljubljana and by pure coincidence I’ve met a journalist from USA, who is researching exactly what I do, traveling, workshops, creativity and adventure. Today she came for a visit and made an interview. I am not kidding you, it’s true! Hey, I’m preaching this all the times, so let me repeat again:
TOPSHIT HAPPENS!!!

In downtown of Dolenjske Toplice is a house from 1880’s and it’s abandoned for last 17 years or so. I’ve set up a darkroom, daylightroom and everything necessary for topshit photography workshops. Today I’ve tested and it works great!!! On Tuesday I’ll hang a show in the next room, so it will have also a gallery space. Expect more topshit happenings from the centre of the world, my centre of my world. ////// V centru Dolenjskih Toplic, se nahaja Sitarjeva hiša, postavljena nekje okoli 1880-tih in je bila zadnjih 17 let popolnoma zapuščena. Trenutno sem postavil temnico s koritom in tekočo vodo in pa delovno sobo z dnevno svetlobo. Naslendji teden še fotke obesimo, da bo tudi prava galerija. Pričakujete več topshit novic.
