About

My name is Borut Peterlin and I’ve devoted my life to photography. I’ve graduated at Prague’s FAMU Academy with a BA in photography (1994-98) and earned a Postgraduate Diploma at The London College of Printing (2002-03). In 2000 I received a scholarship at Fabrica, Benetton’s Research Center for Communication and began working with Oliviero Toscani. In recent years I’m visiting workshops at George Eastman House where under mentorship of Mark Osterman I’m learning the 19th Century photography techniques, with the emphasis on wet plate collodion. I love the term ‘Antiquarian Avant- Guard’ art movement. In the decades of devotion to photography I’ve build a substantial social network, so I made my dream come true. I am proud to say that I’m a professional artist, making 90% of my income by selling my art and my books.

I’ve exhibited worldwide, in venues such as the Konica-Minolta Gallery, Tokio, Japan / K2 Gallery – Izmir,Turkey / Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, Germany/ Host Gallery, London, UK / Kaunas Photo Festival, Lithuania / Doland Museum, Shanghai, China / Photo Fringe Festival, Krakow, Poland, Arendt & Medernach, Luxembourg,  the Museum of Contemporary Art, Ljubljana, Slovenia and many others.
