Jon Derganc

lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 2011 he received a BA in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, and in 2014 he received a master’s degree in Calcutta, India. He works primarily with the photographic medium, often in dialogue with the logic of painting. His works explore the limits of photography’s ability to objectively represent the world and to transform photographic representation into a new—photo-painterly—reality.
