With her project titled Zoetropolo (Foerster’s Garden), GAJA JENKO has created a unique animation device powered by the viewer’s own energy. The project highlights excessive energy consumption in the modern world and thematises humanity’s impact on biodiversity, specifically the role of insects in various ecosystems. MAYA FRANKO & BRINA LEKŠE’s project Overlooked (Križanke Park) presents temporary monuments to four exceptional women, by means of which the artists aim to highlight their significance and, above all, draw attention to the marginalisation of women in collective memory. LUKA ALEKSANDER OMAHEN’s artwork titled Voyeur of the World (Foerster’s Garden) tackles the theme of fortune telling and predicting the future: a mysterious orb employs projections to reveal the individual’s fate. MIHA FREUND’s The Big Click (staircase of Breg) is a video mapping project featuring a series of works centred on the theme of the birth of life or the Big Bang as the origin of everything. In her project Diversity, Equality, Justice (street lights on Trubarjeva & Vidovdanska Streets), TYANA RENDIĆ uses light to symbolically illustrate the structural social barriers that prevent equality and justice. KORINA FERČEC’s project The Fairy Circle (Mirje Park, Valvasor Park, park next to Cankar Hall – near Stojan Batič’s statue of Pan) features a circular arrangement of small, glowing mushrooms; the artist highlights the diversity of individual elements which, when combined and connected, form a new whole – a unique metaphor for perfect community where diversities complement one another and create entirely new qualities. BRINA TOMAŽIČ & LAN MOHORIČ BONČA address the issue of dietary habits in their project titled Digital Dish (Čufarjeva Street). They used footage from various video games — the key motif being tables full of food and all that goes with them — to explore how the world of games interprets eating rituals and gastronomic pleasures in different cultural contexts.
