THE CASTLE – DREAMS OF A FOREST<\/h2>\n

\u0160tanjel, Slovenia\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0 2025
\nSite-specific audiovisual installation<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

OVERVIEW<\/p>\n

Dreams of a Forest explores the forest as a living system, a place of memory and a fragile environment shaped by natural and human forces.<\/p>\n

Sound, spatial intervention and the surrounding landscape form a single composition. The work does not treat nature as a backdrop, but as an active part of the installation.<\/p>\n

CONCEPT<\/p>\n

The installation reflects on the relationship between forest, water, earth and human presence. It asks how a landscape changes when it becomes both material and subject, and how an artistic intervention can remain present without overpowering the place itself.<\/p>\n

SOUND<\/p>\n

Original music and spatial sound are integrated into the environment as subtle layers rather than as accompaniment. Sound defines distance, movement and attention, allowing the visitor to experience the site as a changing acoustic space.<\/p>\n

INSTALLATION<\/p>\n

Lightweight textile elements, movement, light and the natural environment create a temporary architecture. Wind and changing daylight become part of the work, continuously altering its form.<\/p>\n
