"The memories that are the most vivid from my childhood are those of being out in the forests or playing hide and seek around a farm of my relatives. I wanted to become a farmer for a long time. Although I am first in a line of my ancestors that actually live in a bigger city, this is nothing special if you come from a country where most of the population is rural. I miss pitch-dark nights and I miss the smell of freshly cut grass. Staying in the city for too long makes me neurotic and I get a feeling that something is not right, that this life may not be real. I am aware that I will eventually have to live in a city one way or another. Therefore I belong less and less to the world I grew up with and which I thought would become my home. In this project I write and photograph places and situations that I find odd and fascinating at the same time. I write short stories that are inspired by real events and I am revisiting places and events that I am familiar with. What connects the photographs and texts together is the place where they come from – a small town in Eastern Slovenia. It's a strange journey, but I am aware of my privilege to be able to enter, observe and to reflect on what I experience." –Jaka Teršek
