Evgen Bavcar lost the use of both of his eyes before he was 12 years old. Today, he’s a noted photographer whose work has been exhibited around the world. “I photograph what I imagine, you could say I’m a bit like Don Quixote,” he explains. “The originals are inside my head. It is a matter of creating a mental image, the physical record which best represents the work of what is imagined… I know there are always things that escape me, but that’s true of photographers who can physically see. My images are fragile; I’ve never seen them, but I know they exist, and some of them have touched me deeply.”
And once these images are taken? “I pick my photos on a contact sheet the same way as everyone else does, the only exception being that I have to control the physical gaze of those who serve as mediators between the contacts and my own inner reality.” Obviously, they’re quite talented as well.
