The famous Canadian photographer Geoffrey James explores the legacy of Jože Plečnik and his transformation of Ljubljana as a Gesamtkunstwerk. James reveals the social and sensual aspects of Plečnik’s work, which are rarely shown in architectural photographs. Taken with a hand-held camera at different times of day and seasons, the photographs explore the complexity of Plečnik’s urban spaces and capture their intimacy and social processes.

Photographer Geoffrey James has dedicated this exhibition to Jože Plečnik’s social spaces in Ljubljana, where the architect created a distinctive cityscape with a series of public spaces and connecting routes that use monuments, stairs, raised benches, columns and other spatial markers to create an exciting dialogue with the historic substance and newly planted trees.
