Book Release Andrej Lamut

Nothing but a Spaceless Place is a photographic exploration of the invisible spaces of thought, memory, and emotion. Through abstract, enigmatic scenes, Andrej Lamut creates a world that resists fixed interpretations. The images function as traces of something remembered, imagined, or known. They invite a haptic way of seeing, a way of experiencing images almost through touch, where the eye becomes sensitive to surfaces and textures.

This experience continues into the book’s materiality. The tactile surface of the paper and the book’s unusual structure encourage us to engage with it physically and to leaf through it backwards. We move gradually deeper into the book, through an increasingly uncertain space where we are confronted with fears and intrusive thoughts that we may not understand but can nevertheless feel.

The book invites us to dive into this barely perceptible yet endless spaceless place, again and again.

Andrej Lamut (1991) regards photography as a mode of expression beyond mimetic traditions. Through his work he questions perception and challenges the viewer’s experience of images. His projects resist simple interpretations and instead invite an engagement with paradoxes, ambiguities, and possible meanings. His artistic practice often involves analogue processes and alternative development methods.

Lamut received a Master of Fine Arts in photography from HDK-Valand, Gothenburg, and holds a degree in visual communication design from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. He was part of PARALLEL – European Photo Based Platform, and has exhibited his work at numerous venues and festivals throughout Europe, including FORMAT Festival (United Kingdom), Organ Vida (Croatia), Revela’t Festival (Spain), Copenhagen Photofestival (Denmark), Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center (Hungary), MSUM – Museum of Contemporary Art (Slovenia), and Röda Sten Konsthall (Sweden).

His work continues to evolve through exhibitions, residencies, and photobooks, where he explores photography as a space for encounter rather than solely representation.
