Since 1911 | Piran, Slovenia

Since 1911 | Piran, Slovenia

A doorway can tell the story of a place without ever revealing what lies behind it.

Marked 1911, this entrance in the old streets of Piran has endured for more than a century. Weathered timber, ironwork, plants, notices and small objects have accumulated around it — traces of different lives and different moments sharing the same threshold.

Since 1911 asks us to consider all that has passed through this little doorway: the people who have entered and left, the conversations, arrivals and departures, while the building itself remains.

A study of place, history and the quiet evidence of time.
