Light is a part of our
everyday reality. The same goes for sound.
We would therefore like to invite you to discover the ways in which these elements
cohabitate in the city and explore the
synergies between light, sound and public space
together with international artists. We challenge
you to touch and play on the
objects in the Vžigalica Gallery to co-create light–
and soundscapes; We challenge you to create the
miniature shadow theatre at the Trg francoske
revelucije; and we challenge you to use
your voice to change the appearance of the
façade of Cankarjev dom.
The artists will use their works to uncover the
relationship between light and sound in artistic
installations, buildings and spaces and the
relationship between the artistic light
installation, space and visitors. By placing these
projects in the open, we want to create temporary
new dimensions of the public space, and entice
you to a creative
and critical attitude towards the common
public space and the elements that define it, such
as air, sound and art. Towards a new
articulation of space!
Can sound be
represented by light? What's the sound a city makes?
How to use sound to influence a light image? Does a
house have ears, and do the sounds it hears affect
its exterior? Is there a hidden living room in the
middle of the city that makes you feel away from the
city bustle? Can trees use wind to become lighting
sound instruments and did an undersea bell really
land in a museum courtyard? What's the black cube
doing on the platform? These are the questions
we're trying to infect you with in this year's
edition of the Lighting Guerrilla.
We also proudly report
that in addition to the Faculty of Architecture, our
traditional partners, other educational institutions
have joined our cause: Gimnazija Koper, Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Academy of Music and the Chair of
Textile and Fashion Design (FNT). We hope to infect
others with the light virus next year. We also hope
to be able to invite you to new locations next year.
Also not to be
missed is the workshop by the Swiss artist Sophie
Guyot and presentations of the authors that will be
joining this year's edition.
