DITOPIA ATMOS LJUBLJANA
We invite you to a pre-holiday surprise at the Cirkulacija 2 premises, on Monday, 23. 12. 2024 at 8 pm.
We will pre-premiere a unique photo animation with accompanying music, which Marko Košnik realized based on an extensive collection of “walk – laps” photographs. He captured them during a continuous walk through the exhibition openings in some event spaces in Ljubljana, mainly in connection with the production activities of the Kersnikov Institute. He rounded up a significant part of the material in 2009 and presented it at that time in the form of an interactive installation “Ditopia Kažipot Ljubljana” in the Kapelica Gallery at Kersnikova 4. This year, he expanded his “1 photo every 3 steps” photographic journey into some additional spaces and events and invited some artists and visitors that he recorded fifteen years ago to reappear in front of the lens. In this way, while viewing the ongoing walk through successive shots, we jump sharply in time here and there.
The transitions between the photographs in the film are also followed by music with fluid transitions (morphing) between the data in the programs stored in an analog sound synthesizer.
And a surprise? There is a considerable probability that many potential viewers will see their own portrait in the film – either recent or from long ago. The lucky ones will be rejuvenated by 15 years during 23-minute journey.
