Ana Skobe is a photographer with an architectural background who lives
and works between Ljubljana and Zürich.
She graduated in 2019 from the Faculty of Architecture, University of
Ljubljana, with a master’s thesis on architectural photography, and is now
continuing her theoretical endeavors in doctoral studies.
Ana works both on personal research and commissioned projects. Her
photographs have been exhibited and awarded, as well as published in domestic
and foreign architectural and design magazines. In them, she conveys her
experience of space, not only describing the architecture but combining the
idea materialized in the object and its relationship to the space with her own
idea of the same object. She is interested in how it can be perceived - what is
the potential of its specific spatial solutions - and calls that
(re)constructing the architecture.
