Keke: That with the Whistle
video projection
the intersection of Resljeva & Trubarjeva Streets // until 20 June
OPENING: Tuesday, 26 May 2026, at 9:30 p.m.

The Keke duo’s new project stems from the premise of the political sphere’s increasing polarisation and fragmentation, whereby the authors use national television, personified by its symbol, Zdenko Kalin’s sculpture titled Boy with a Flute (1941), as a case study. By means of animation, Keke brought the statue to life and ascribed it a series of fluid and contradictory identities; the image of the boy with ever-new attributes mutates into different figures, alluding to the modern times, ultimately transforming into an allegory of digital alienation. In this way, the authors question the diversity of thought in a world shaped by algorithms. Are we still dealing with freedom and autonomy of though in a post-factual world of (half)truths, or merely with a symptom of the disintegration of social consensus?

The duo Keke consists of Lenart Merlin (1997), a music producer, composer, instrumentalist, designer and intermedia artist, and a graphic designer and visual artist Ana Govc (1998). Lenart Merlin graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana, with a degree in Visual Communication Design. He has participated in several group exhibitions, among others, with the NPR collective. Ana Govc obtained her BA in Communication Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. This year, she completed her MA in Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. She has presented her work at numerous group exhibitions at home and abroad, and has collaborated on the NPR collective’s project Pigeons, fuck off!
