Deni Horvatić

Deni Horvatic, born 1991 in Čakovec, Croatia, has been working with the Croatian fashion brand XD Xenia Design since 2019. He won the “Marina Viculin” award 2020 for extraordinary achievements in the field of Croatian photography. He works as an independent photographer, video and CGI programmer, and as artistic director for avant garde art and fashion magazines, such as A PART and CARCY. Deni is represented by nüüd.berlin gallery.

His SCAN series was presented recently at UNSEEN Amsterdam, Photo London, photo Basel and PhotoBrussels Festival. In his life-size photographs of scenes from everyday life, the artist removes the distance between the environment and the subject by choosing a particular perspective. Shot from below, these portraits hide as much as they reveal, denying us a glimpse on this specific part of the body we most immediately associate with identity, namely the face.
