light installation
Novi trg
15 June−11 July 2020

The project  created by students and mentors from 3 facutlies and an insititute metaphorically addresses places that, according to its creators, are a kind of urban inter-spaces, practically the negatives of the urban network. The installation in Novi square thus consists of a stick structure where moving sieves float. Light shines through them and creates a graphic network of shadows with different densities. These light prints symbolize the city, its multi-layered urban design, its structures that are constantly shifting from one to the other. Sieves sometimes partially cover the light sources with which the creators attempt to address the growing light pollution of the environment, especially in cities.

The installation was created within the European project Po kreativni poti do znanja 2020 that involves several professors and students from the University of Ljubljana and University of Primorska as well as partners from both the private and public sector.
