NTF/Rebeka Pajek: The Inbetweens
video projection
mentors: Marija Jenko, Rok Rappl – Rocc
façade of the Cankar Hall // until 14 June
OPENING: Friday, 23 May, at 9:30 p.m.

The project is the artist’s MA thesis under the supervision of Prof. Marija Jenko (Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, University of Ljubljana (NTF)) and Assist. Prof. Rok Rappl – Rocc (Academy for Music, University of Ljubljana). The dynamic project renders a continuous flow of illustrated characters that appear and disappear, thus exploring or influencing the identity, perception and subconscious of the viewers. Each character embodies a fragment of an internal world, full of unexplained disturbances, contradictory states of mind and all kinds of interpretations. The incessantly altering nature of the projected images is saturated with content; its peculiar integrity evokes sets of momentary experiences that emerge in a dialogue between the visible and the feeling of the visible. In the projection, we therefore recognise the dynamic relationship between consciousness and the unconscious, imagination and reality. /R. Pajek/
