Lighting Guerrilla this year for the second time in a row heads out to explore and occupy unusual exhibition spaces. Again, display windows all across the city will feature a special kind of visitors: light sculptures that bring a spirit of artishness into the displays. The project is based on a premise that display windows are a kind of public space which allows us to communicate aesthetically and to address the public that doesn't visit galleries. This time we've invited a well-known native, Natan Esku, to work on this project. The artist created two dozen minimalist light sculptures that he describes as »hybrids between deep-sea creatures and crystals«. The sculptures are made of acrylic glass that allows for subtle reflections and refractions of light: their abstract geometrical shapes, fitted with their own light sources to create vivid plays of colors, will stand out as tiny art interventions especially at night. All sculptures will also be on sale.

 

NATAN ESKU (1973) attended the School of photography and design and finished the study of visual design at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. He specialized in illustration at the Academy in Budapest. While painting and restoring recycled objects, he also does photography, illustration and design. He lives in Ljubljana.
