IVA FERLINC: Night Residents [Supernova cycle]
light installation
Križevniška Soteska // until 14 June
OPENING: Friday, 23 May, at 9:30 p.m.

Iva Ferlinc’s new project highlights the viewer as someone who, with their mere presence, disrupts and upsets the rhythm of everyday life. Her project is based on the moment of surprise, but, simultaneously, evokes nostalgic feelings, as the dramaturgy of the project resembles graphic solutions in animated films. The artist has placed a series of lights on one side of a narrow street, which radiate beams of light onto the opposite wall, designed to resemble windows. Due to the presence of people on the street, the lights are turned on, creating illuminated windows in which visitors quickly perceive their own shadows – thus creating the impression that real people are moving around in the building, disturbed by the presence of spectators.

IVA FERLINC (1997) is a visual artist who explores the intertwinement of space, visual perception and sensory experience. She graduated at the Academy of Visual Arts in Ljubljana (AVA). Her practice stems from the shaping of the viewer’s experience, with a special interest in the influence of spatial changes and manipulation of light on the viewer’s perception and behaviour. In her works, she creates spaces where light is a central tool for changing atmosphere and engaging the senses. By means of subtle shifts in space design, she invites the viewers to reflect on their surroundings in new ways and encourages the audience to wonder how space can affect their reality.
