EDINA MUFTIĆ & MIA VENTIN: Exuviae [Supernova cycle]
light installation
Plečnik’s news-stand @ Vegova Street // until 14 June
OPENING: Friday, 23 May, at 9:30 p.m.

The object, whose organicity mimics the structure of a cocoon or exuviae, was created by the authors using a 3D printer. At first glance, the soft form seems to be stationary and merely floating in space, but at any change or the slightest disturbance in its surroundings – the latter can be caused by the viewer’s mere presence – its stirs and starts to move. With the play of light, the object comes to life and moves into a phase of instability. The mysterious cocoon remains inaccessible and unfathomable throughout – the authors intentionally question its function and meaning: it is unclear what is happening inside it, what kind of creature, if any, will emerge from it.

EDINA MUFTIĆ (1996) creates three-dimensional computer-generated videos, sculptures, installations, virtual spaces and digital graphics. For the primary version of her work titled Biophilia, she received the 2019 Student Prize at the 25th International Festival of Computer Art (MFRU) in Maribor. Moreover, she has also performed a series of other projects, which have been presented at solo and group exhibitions at various venues in Slovenia. MIA VENTIN (1990) is a designer, stylist and costume designer. She studied fashion and textile design in Ljubljana, Eindhoven and London. Her interdisciplinary approach to design allows her to create new narratives that encompass not only fashion, but also costume design, video works and spatial installations.
