BIO // MATJAZ KRIVIC

Matjaž Krivic je dokumentarni fotograf, ki dolgoročno spremlja zgodbe ljudi in krajev. Že 25 let v svojem intenzivnem, osebnem in estetsko prepričljivem slogu beleži obličje zemlje in upodablja revnejše dele sveta, ki jih zaznamujejo tradicija, družbeni nemiri in močna navzočnost religije. V zadnjih letih se je usmeril v okoljska vprašanja in se s svojim delom zavzema za bolj zeleno prihodnost.

Njegovo delo in multimedijski projekti so bili na ogled v številnih galerijah, muzejih, razstaviščih na prostem v Sloveniji in po svetu ter na mednarodnih fotografskih festivalih, kot so La Gacilly Photo, Les Rencontres d’Arles in Visa pour l’image. Njegove fotografije objavljajo nacionalni in najrazličnejši mednarodni mediji, kot so Wired, Boston Globe, Guardian, Geo, Stern, Spiegel, Le Figaro, Le Monde, Newsweek, GQ, Internationale, D-La Repubblica, Wall Street Journal, Forbes in številni drugi. Krivic je za svoje delo prejel več prestižnih nagrad, med njimi World Press Photo, Picture of the Year International in Lens Culture.
