Slovenc has been a visiting artist at institutions including Drew University, The City College, LaGuardia Community College, Yale University, and Parsons The New School of Design. ==Major Works== Since 2007, Slovenc has completed three major bodies of work and exhibited them internationally. In his latest work, Marble Hill, which consists of four distinct chapters, Slovenc focuses on his neighborhood in the Bronx. He uses photography, sculpture, set design, performance, and video to transform this real Bronx neighborhood into the author’s imaginary and metaphorical world nested between fantasy and reality. Slovenc is interested in life as a form of theater; particularly in ways domestic spaces have been acted in and acted upon. He is intrigued by the "scenes" people construct in their homes, as well as the roles people play in their daily lives, with all the semiotic and allegoric referents. In the series Partners in Crime, Slovenc creates wedding portraits of long term same sex couples. Inspired by late nineteenth-century cabinet cards, Slovenc photographs these couples to appear both physically and emotionally disconnected. In conflating images of stiff, traditional marriage poses and contemporary domestic spaces, Slovenc captures the public face that society mandates for same-sex couples. For the series Breathing in Kabwe, Slovenc traveled to Kabwe, Zambia to photograph the effects of lead pollution on the local population. With photographs and text, Slovenc has transformed a typical documentary subject matter in such a way that it has become not only about the observed or the observer as individual entities, not about “us” or “them” as two very distinct cultures, but primarily about the relationship between the two. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hrvoje Slovenc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
