More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Klavdij Sluban is an established French photographer of Slovenian origin based in Paris. His new book "East to East" brings together photographs that he has made during extensive travels in the East, frequently following the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sluban's use of deep blacks and backlit silhouettes embues his work with a highly individual photographic style. These powerful images are remarkably moody and atmospheric and permeated with a strange melancholy and an overwhelming sense of isolation. This is deeply memorable work.
About the Author
Klavdij Sluban's photographs have been exhibited widely including the Museum of Photography, Helsinki; Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo; Museum of Modern Art, Canton, China; Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, Paris; and Centre Pompidou / Beaubourg, Paris.

I 'stumbled' on Klavdij Sluban in an exhibition which was within the Paris Mois de Photo platform of expos in 2008 [for those unaware of the Mois de Photo it is a bi-enniel event] and the very first image I came across stopped me in my tracks. Compared to other expos the Sluban expo was modest in size but I spent close to two hours within the gallery going back and forth to various images, images that were rapidly becoming favourites and images that were so powerful it was difficult to eventually exit the gallery.
Subsequent to that revelation I have tried to find a book based on the expo, which I think was called The Other Side of the Baltic Sea - all to no avail, but now this book has been released and includes a great number of the, for me, famed images from that expo, Magnificent book, Black and White imagery at it's most intense and by a superb artist.

Photographic travel journals are mostly executed in colour these days. Also their authors invariably try to give the impression that they truly understood people and places of their voyage. Not so Klavdij Sluban. He travelled far: from the Baltic Sea to China, using the Trans-Siberian, the Trans-Tibetan and other railways. Often his b/w-photos were taken from train windows. Gray and dark, very dark images are the result, and although this description sounds like a cliché, you get the feeling that you, the viewer, are enabled to deeply understand the atmosphere, the character of the places and the people. Yes, people are included, sometimes just a little spot in a vast landscape and then suddenly an almost lit up face appears in the darkness. This book contains strong images, well sequenced and with a poetic sound.
Format:Hardcover
A beautifully produced book showing off the black and white photographs in high quality reproduction.
The photographs are lushly dark, full of surprises, resonating with mood and felt experiences. They take you on a journey across a vast little known continent through the eyes of someone who sees with his heart and soul. This award-winning photographer appreciates and artfully transforms the reality he encounters into images that are exquisitely composed. This book will provide me with many hours of pleasure in years to come. Timeless.
