light installation

Vžigalica Gallery (Match Gallery); until 23 August
OPENING: Tuesday, 26 May 2026, at 9:30 p.m.

As part of the Lighting Guerrilla Laboratory, we feature works by pupils of the Secondary School for Design and Photography Ljubljana, created under supervision of Damjan Kracina and Matej Bizovičar. The installation is a workshop derivation of Matej Bizovičar’s Capsules project (see previous page), through which the artist explores the conceptual and formal dimensions of space as an element of separation and contact. This time, the pupils designed the capsules out of old suitcases; they created spatially limited formations, heterogeneous assemblages that, through the use of lighting effects, various textures and materials, reveal the intricate currents of creativity in the design of micro-spaces. In doing so, the participants did not shy away from the rich array of symbolic connotations of the suitcase as an object that represents both the promise of transition and new beginnings, as well as a symbol of absence and loss.

Participants: Matsushige Milla Ajdnik, Gaja Bordon, Filip Cvetković, Ida Črnugelj, Isabela Drovenik Aber, Lana Gradišnik, Laura Grasselli Kobal, Anis Hadžipašić, Neža Judež, Margarita Koliushenko, Jure Petje, Julija Šobar, Polona Velušček and Kiara Žnidaršič
