The kind spirits project is exposing the
issue of the abandoned buildings:
"They [the
spirits] are surrounding us. Sometimes, we
don't even know they are here. Unnoticeable, quiet,
always ready to help. They are helping us every day,
those silent benefactors. But sometimes they kick it
off and curiously head towards new adventures. They
fly over the city's roofs, play with the wind, they
rest in the treetops and enjoy the view. They call
for sparrows in the bushes. They jump into the river
and take a deep dive. They love exploring the water
world...
In the heart of Ljubljana, by the Shoemaker's
Bridge, on the second floor of the collapsing
building, there's a group of kind spirits of
Ljubljana
getting together every night, right above the Zlata
ladjica pub."
