Raoul Kurvitz: Ormus.

The cult Estonian visual artist Raoul Kurvitz presents Ormus, his older series of lighting paintings and objects, in which he exposes principles of light and reveals that darkness is part of light.

I DID IT: Emograph. Only at the opening!

Measure your heartbeat! Emograph is a device for measuring heartbeat. Once measured, your pulse and feelings are visualised in a mosaic of colours and sounds. The unique heart kaleidoscope is screened onto the Simulaker Gallery façade. Emograph is an invention of the artistic production group I DID IT from Riga.

3 Two empty houses on Glavni Square  - Aleksandra Stratimirovic: Kind Spirits.
Aleksandra Stratimirovic:
                  Dobri duhovi

The project exposes the problem of abandoned empty houses. It inhabits them with new residents, the kind spirits that are almost invisible, silent, and always willing to help. Aleksandra Stratimirović is a co-founder of the Lighting Guerrilla Festival; as an artist she specialises in lighting objects and installations.
4 Photo Asja entrance platform - Marko A. Kovačič & Brane Ždralo: Fata Morgana.
Kovacic in Zdralo:
                  Fatamorgana
A palm tree in the centre of Novo Mesto? Fata Morgana? Yes and no. The palms by the artistic tandem Marko A. Kovačič and Brane Ždralo protect you against sun during the day, while at night they shed light on your book. You are invited to join the night reading of literature in the public space.
5 Sokolski Dom façade - Jure Miklič: In Claws.

This lighting intervention presents a witty recycling of lighting elements that you might have noticed at a party in the basement of the same building: The guts of Sokolski Dom exhibited in its windows now create a new story symbolically echoing the fate of the building and the city as such.


6 Former Aurora shop platform - Kaja Avberšek & Darja Osojnik: Shine*n*Fly.

The hennish lighting swing comes to life only at dusk, but it is kind to the curious by day as well. Used with caution it can offer countless pleasures.

Avberšek & Osojnik: Šajn*n*flaj

7 Aurora shop window - Chair of Textile and Fashion Design, Department of Textiles, NTF, University of Ljubljana: A Place under the Sun 
FTN: Prostor pod soncem


Two years ago, in the course of their studies under Prof. Elena Fajt and Prof. Marija Jenko, the creators of this installation Klementina Kranvogel and Ana Jelinič - the latter from Novo Mesto - have changed the private for the public. In the framework of the project, they closed the leaves from the nearby park into a building. Is it that the textile leaves coated with a reflective paint warn that winter is coming after every summer?

9 Franciscan Monastery orchard - Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana: Bright Talk.

Creators: Dan Adlešič, Uršula Rihtar, Katarina Muller, Anja Radovič and Katja Špiler; Mentor: Boštjan Drinovec.
ALOU: Bright Talk

Bright Talk was realised at 2012 Lighting Guerrilla as an ambient installation and a dynamic “revival” of the garden with reactions of light to the sound. It is actually a kind of equalising lighting system. Visitors can »light« their voice by means of a microphone and thus enliven the garden. APPROACH THE MICROPHONE AND SPEAK!
8 LokalPatriot Club atrium - Andrej Štular: Family.
  Andrej Stular: Familija
Family is a series of lighting paintings that create a unique topography. The artist explores images of faces from different cultures. The multi-layered paintings-objects are like copies from his sketchbook.


11 Goga bookstore pavement - Andrej Štular: ZA Centre.

An ambient placement of small lighting objects whose luminance and homely warmth invite us to look at them, touch them or even inhabit them.


10 Franciscan Church meadow - Marjeta Zupancic Meglic: Secret Garden.

The Secret Garden installation by a free-lance lighting designer was first publicly shown at 2008 Lighting Guerrila in the Festival Ljubljana garden on Krizevniska Street, and at the Belgrade of Light festival in Belgrade. This ambient installation is a play of light with mirror reflections on architecture.


HOTLINE: If you find any of the installations in trouble, please call + 386 31 478730.

In the time of the Lighting Guerrilla festival in Novo Mesto, the Simulaker Gallery is opened from 5  till 9 pm. Sundays, Mondays and holidays closed.
