Zlatko Kopljar

Zlatko Kopljar is a wildly talented photographer and visual artist from Croatia. His Human Trash series of photographs is particularly stunning. He has this to say:

I made photo portraits of my colleagues’ artists who never consented to become a part of the mainstream. They were always true to themselves and the margin. They were neglected and forgotten. Here I’m looking at them and experience them as a human trash, people nobody wanted. They are just an example of a wider Western cultural environment trend in generating human trash.

His compassion gallery is also beautiful. Also recommended (video): Kopljar’s YouTube account, wherein he create visual art pieces such as a 2004 piece coded with his DNA string.
