The tradition of hunting on the hunting grounds of Umag and Savudrija (and beyond) is a project of the Umag Town Museum that was launched with the desire to support the local community by revealing another traditional value of Umag and Buje area.
The earliest archival documents - hunting maps from 1813 - speak of the early presence of hunting in this area.
The first hunting society the Circolo dei cacciatori di Umago, which had its own statute, was founded in 1925, so the tradition of hunting is deeply rooted in the Buje region, whilst this exhibition reminds us of the 96 years of organised hunting in the same area.
On average, in the 1970s, every 35th inhabitant in the Buje region was a hunter. The love for hunting was nurtured within the family and was often passed from the great-grandfather hunter to the grandfather, his son and his grandson. Hunting is a sporting activity, and since the 1960s it has begun to develop as an indispensable economic and tourist potential of the Buje region.
This exhibition has been realised thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and Media together with the Town of Umag and with the great support of storytellers - hunters, gamekeepers, cynologists, breeders and champion shooters as well as all those enthusiasts who created hunting here, but also who spread their knowledge throughout Croatia and around the world, who were an inexhaustible source of data, providing photographic materials, documents and objects for the construction of the GOOD HUNTING exhibition!

In the photographic jargon, a slide means a film slide, dias, or simply a film positive. In the world of analog photography, this type of film, most often in colour, was considered the highest quality material for recording light. Even today, in some of its aspects, it surpasses digital images in its density, color intensity, and warmness. Or with that unknown “something” that film simply has. As my friend Davor Sanvincenti says: I like film because I can lick film. Pixels, I cannot.
Film positives were especially popular in the seventies and eighties and widespread in use amongst professionals and amateurs alike who returned from trips, family gatherings and such with these slides and projected them in their homes. The most famous projector, even today, is Kodak\'s Carousel model, which I use in this project as well.
In this exhibition, I used my own slides, but also slides of strangers, which I bought at various flea markets and through newspaper and online advertisements. The idea of the Slide operator was to reinterpret the existing images by (mis)treating the films with different chemicals, colours and other substances, then inserting them into the projector, projecting them onto the paper and finally taking the photos in the moment I considered crucial for the final work which you will see at this exhibition.
I don\'t think it\'s appropriate for the author to speak on the metaphysical aspect of these photographs, however, the forces of known and unknown, the sediment of personal history, experience in the craft and my own attitude towards art, photography, society and the time we live in were undoubtedly present in the process. This exhibition is about me, but in some way, I believe it is an exhibition about all of You as well.
