You are warmly invited to visit the photography exhibition Through the Eyes of an Astrophotographer<\/em> by Gregor Kresal, a Slovenian alpinist, architect, and filmmaker<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together landscape, mountain, and astrophotography. The common thread running through all the works is the search for rare moments when the Sun, Moon, planets, comets, or stars briefly align with selected mountain peaks and natural formations. Some of these scenes last only a few minutes each year, while others required numerous attempts and a precise understanding of the movements of celestial bodies.<\/p>\n

The photographs do not merely depict the night sky above the mountains; rather, they capture encounters between light, time, and space. Many of them are the result of years of observation, repeated visits to the same locations, climbs in darkness, failed attempts, and waiting for a moment that may occur only once. Some images were achieved only on the tenth or even twelfth attempt.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs a long-time alpinist and astrophotographer, I am interested not only in the appearance of mountain landscapes or the sky above them. What fascinates me most is light and its relationship with space\u2014how, for a few minutes, it illuminates a window in a mountain, travels along a ridge, casts a shadow across a valley, or briefly aligns with a mountain summit. The exhibition is therefore also a story of patience, perseverance, and the exploration of phenomena that most people never notice, even though they take place above the same mountains we all know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
