You are invited to the second event at the Sonic Pavilion, a new gallery opposite Tivoli Park whose transparent architecture enables spatial installations and experiments with intermedia, sound-based and research-driven artistic works.
We are announcing Transitory Fictions, an interactive immersive lecture by researcher and artist Klara Debeljak (1995) and theatre director and writer Jan Krmelj (1995).
In their collaborations, Klara Debeljak and Jan Krmelj explore the transformative possibilities of the material and conceptual infrastructures that define the post-factual collective space. Transitory Fictions is a speculative theory describing the formation of temporary narratives embedded in the histories and possible futures of selected architectures. The event will take the form of both a conversation and an installation, addressing projects in development, past projects and the directions of their ongoing research.
Klara Debeljak
Klara Debeljak (1995) is a researcher and artist whose exploration of internet intimacy, identity and the changing concept of community through a spatial lens began during her studies in psychology at Charles University in Prague and continued at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her practice combines writing, design and video art. She has exhibited at the Dakar OFF Biennale and received the Designers Write award, among others. In 2024, she began a two-year residency at MGLC Švicarija, where she is developing a project exploring the gentrification of the digital and urban spheres.
