Abstract (english)
In 1986, Petar Dabac, a photographer, cultural worker, and promoter of photography based in Zagreb, published a paper titled “Establishing a National Museum of Photography: Proposal for a Medium-Term Work Plan of the Photography Section of ULUPUH” in the journal Informatica museologica. His aim was to emphasize the need for establishing a national museum, as he believed that we, as a society, would be able to contemplate the future of photography “only when we have saved its most significant achievements from destruction.” His text represents the culmination of sixteen years of experience managing a photography studio at Ilica 17 and the archive of his uncle, Tošo Dabac, who, thanks in no small part to Petar’s efforts, is considered one of the most important Croatian photographers. This paper aims to present Petar Dabac’s proposal, contextualize it in relation to its time, discuss the problems and difficulties he encountered when taking over his uncle’s legacy, and explore his understanding of the museum’s function. Ultimately, we will consider the relevance of this proposal in today’s context.
