Jebodrom, 2012-2014

In photography landscapes are often used as witnesses that – obviously, atmospherically or with the additional information of a caption – refer to past, often also terrible events and the traces they have left. However, the places in Jaka Babnik’s (*1979, SLO) photographs are quite current and of rather enjoyable nature: wherever you are in the Balkans, _Jebodrom_ is a colloquial term for areas that are particularly popular and suitable for outdoor sex. Babniks examination also refers to social and economic structures, which sometimes signify living together in a defined space and the lack of intimate retreats.
