light installation
Križevniška soteska
15 June−11 July 2020

The Draft project is inspired by the element of air, or more precisely, by the movement of air which is imitated by a network of light filaments that are stretched out above a narrow street. The artist visualizes the wind, this practically undepictable force, with artificial lighting that is pulsating over the heads of the viewers, intensifying and fading in waves and thus creating a series of cascades of intertwining contours. The additional dynamism of the interactive installation was achieved by the artist by involving passers-by who can influence its final image: by blowing out the flames they can ignite ‘traces’ of wind.
