In the SPARKS OF PROMETHEUS project, which Marko A. Kovačič has been developing since 2009, the author deals with recycling. He has exposed this issue in some previous projects (Civilizacija Plastosov, Izgubljeni horizont, Ljubeči pogled - muzej, Javka pri Rdeči zvezdi). This time, he used large pieces of waste material to form an assemblage, a light and sound object, which he arranged into an ambiental whole. The construction of the recycled material was used as a support for sound puzzles, in other words, a noise-producing machine.

The original motif of the noise-sound installation, the mythological story of Prometheus who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to people, is actually a story about the conflict between authority and individuality, between order and mind, between law and freedom. In this project, the author exchanged fire for noise. Noise, disliked by practically everybody, as noted by the author himself, is his gift to the people.

For this event, the author together with his two collaborators, BRANE ŽDRALO and BORIS GABER, will upgrade the light component of the project and synchronise the frequencies of unwanted sounds with new dimensions of light.

MARKO KOVAČIČ (1956) is exploring and linking performance, video and installations, in addition to his sculptures. When discovering new graphic elements, he also considers the sculpture outside its material edge, in its relation to the physical and mental space. Kovačič's sculptural and visual practice is based on the ready-made aesthetic and stems from the propensity to collecting various objects, especially those that have in one way or another symbolically determined “his” time and space and are therefore in some way connected to his personal and broad collective history. Through these chosen objects, he recalls the memory of experiences past and at the same time gives them new value and meaning. The content of his work suggest social involvement and communicate with reality in what could mostly be described as a grotesque manner.
