ABOUT THE EXHIBITION (PDF)

The exhibition explores the significance of the material remnants of past eras, the obscure technologies of the past and the process of returning nature to areas that have been altered by human technology in the past. The atmospheric light and sound installation provides a unique sensory experience and introduces visitors to the obscure technical heritage of defensive structures in the abandoned and overgrown area of the Rapallo border. The visitor enters the darkened space with special photophonic lamps that emit sound waves along with the light, changing the audio-visual narrative.

P L A T E AU R E S I D U E is an imaginary identity of award-winning duo Aljaž Celarc (b. 1989, BA in Geography [Faculty of Arts, SI] & MA in Photography [AKV St. Joost, NL]) and Eva Pavlič Seifert (b. 1989, BA in Art History [Faculty of Arts, SI] & MA in Visual Culture [Aalto University, FI]). They work with landscape ecology and new media to research new ways of raising public awareness. They always give voice to project participants, natural forms such as rocks, air, organisms, and other clusters of substances, which they reorganize into new unusual forms and new media systems. The baseline of their artistic production are immersive video installations. The tandem lives and works in Slovene village of Novi Kot, in the forest hinterland of Goteniška gora and Snežnik.
