The bachelor thesis entitled Documentation the disappearing architecture of Prekmurje deals with the photographic documentation of abandoned residential houses and other buildings in the area of Prekmurje. The diploma thesis presents Prekmurje as a geographical concept, demographic factors, the history and development of the Prekmurje farmhouse, and the thesis also deals with the history of photography in Prekmurje and beyond, especially in connection with the photography of abandoned architecture, as well as the New Topographies and Urban exploration trends in photography. Of course, I was also interested in the symbolic side of the photographs, which repeat the motifs of destruction, decay, the past and the transient, as well as the traces of life.
The photos, which are collected in two booklets, together represent the final work. In the first book, mainly, but not exclusively, the exterior of residential buildings of old homesteads and houses is documented, while in the second book, mainly their interior and smaller details are documented.
