»Klopčič consolidates cosmopolitan and modernist identities in the city of Ljubljana. He begins his journey On the Sunny Side of the Street and returns, time after time, to Ljubljana the Beloved. He infuses his city in a unique light, bringing the morning mists from Ljubljana’s moors to the heart of the city, and follows the flow of the river, repeatedly returning to Tivoli Park to see if things are as they once were. But most affectionate are his soaring shots overlooking the rooftops of the city, accompanied by a’60s jazz score. Klopčič recreates his city with the medium of light.«
- Stojan Pelko, Matjaž Klopčič: eseji in pričevanja (Slovenska kinoteka, 2012)
