Marijo Zupanov explores queer life in Ljubljana through photography, focusing on identity, self-expression and often-overlooked community moments. His work documents processes taking place behind the scenes and highlights people and events that mainstream society may dismiss as trivial, showing them as vital parts of our shared world. While his 2023 project Pleasures (Užitki) centred on gay erotica, his latest work expands to include diverse queer identities.
Despite doubts about how photography connects to queer bodies, Zupanov’s portraits celebrate their visibility, courage and beauty.
Exhibition Kings & Queens & Criminal Queers His exhibition Kings & Queens & Criminal Queers adds new Polaroids to his archive – visual traces of lived experiences, discrimination and resistance. The title draws inspiration from the melancholic song “Beautiful Boys”, echoing themes of rejection, survival and self-discovery.
