Who is Borut Peterlin

Photo above: Tomo Jesenicnik, photographer.

He is an author of the famous picture that represented the Slovenian national campaign "I feel Slovenia." He made a T-shirt I feel Tibet - as a protest that Slovenian government during its presidency of EU didn't speak up (let alone do something!) about human rights issue in Tibet.

Picture was shot for magazine Mladina's creative portrait rubric Striptiz - at the same spot beside lake Bohinj in Slovenia where Tomo Jesenicnik took his famous photo.

Advertising design Studio Pasyteta...Studio Pasteta (Studio Paste) is a creative team of two philosophers/journalists/writers and an architect/graphic designer/painter. Their individual paths kept crossing each other until they realized that it would be much wiser to function the other way around.

They united their directions and efforts on common projects. They boarded their rocket.

And here they are, designing printing materials, setting-up urban installations and events. They go from strictly art projects to strictly commercial ones. They always try out a totally different approach, so that in the end they wouldn't be surprised. Or - sometimes they would, who knows?

Arne's photos were featured in National Geographic magazine - in an article titled Slovenia River Excavation - looking for the answers to the question: "Why did Romans, Celts, and even prehistoric settlers submerge their personal belongings, from swords to dishes, in a shallow river in Slovenia?"

Picture was shot beside Ljubljanica river in Ljubljana, at the very same spot where the richest archeological findings were discovered.

He directed a dance performance of a fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood - in a modern, contemporary way.
