Luka Murovec: There Is No Authority but Yourself
lighting installation
Slovene Writers’ Association garden
24th May–19th June 2021

An inflatable sculpture, set in the intimacy of a green garden and surrounded by huge national cultural institutions shines in the evenings in a calm rhythm of the breathing light. The sculpture represents an autonomous individual in their most basic essence, a human being under no other authority but their own. The object is taller and bigger than the human body – as a human being is also more than just matter in which it exists. The installation glows and wanes like a living scan of the human aura, standing strong and upright at night and during the day it awaits its time to flourish back into full life again like a sleeping Venus.

»The sculpture’s soft and gentle exterior with its massive and rugged interior symbolizes our daily interaction with the world, while the six-pointed symbol represents the city and reminds us to stay grateful to current reality.« /L. Murovec/

The installation will be on display during the 26th Slovenian Book Days event too (16th–20th June).
