Exhibition Natures 11 finishing tomorrow

Tomorrow is the last day of the exhibition Natures 11 in Bežigrad Gallery 2, where you can see the work Freedom 2.0 by Valerie Wolf Gang.

Freedom 2.0 represents the search for personal freedom in the world. First there was poetry discussing the ambiguity of the world and our artificial freedom. Then came the video based on the poetry. Through shots of nature and the city it displays layered contrasts surrounding us from the outside, yet hiding in us and in the system we live in. Our conviction of freedom can be deceiving. If we carefully observe the details around us, it becomes clear how limited we actually are: boundaries, controls, laws, warnings, signs etc. The only thing that remains is nature where we can escape, hide and find our freedom. The question is where is the end, the boundary at the end of nature that says: „Passage through this point is not permitted“ or „Unauthorised access forbidden“. The issue of freedom is explored through poetry to seek solutions: We can only be personal in our heads, in art and in free movement of the body. „Are we free? Let’s think again.“The considerably narrow and tight format of the video is all about restrictions as well. Natural atmospheric sounds of birds and an underground recording of an earthquake form part of the video, contrasting and complementing each other and achieving harmony between the world and the city. At the same time, however, warning signs are telling us that something is terribly wrong.
