Opening of the 19th Lighting Guerrilla Festival: Disturbances
Ljubljana Art Weekend
We invite you to join us in front of the Match Gallery on Friday, 23 May 2025, at 21.30, to toast the opening of the Lighting Guerrilla Festival: Disturbances. Until 14 June, explore the light installations around Ljubljana at night during the festival, and see the works created especially for the exhibition in our gallery until 24 August.
Disturbances are the central thematic framework of the 19th International Lighting Guerrilla Festival. This year, it brings together a number of explorations of the phenomenon of disturbance in the context of contemporary visual and new media art, with an emphasis on works that use the medium of light as their primary means of expression.
The expressiveness of the works presented this year by local and international artists deals with various physical or spatial, social as well as purely psychological aspects of various disturbances. Artists often draw on the impact of technology on our everyday lives, exploring and interpreting the many phenomena of our contemporary world by playing with the viewer’s perception. Disturbance as an effect on the predictability of the world and of life is not always negative; interruptions of the familiar can also provide us with new insights into the world or with feelings that we might never have experienced without them.
The works on display at the Match Gallery were made by Antti Kulmala, Ida Hiršenfelder, Nika Erjavec, ::vtol:: and Laura Adel.
You are invited to join us for the opening of the festival and to discover the beautiful light installations around Ljubljana at nighttime.
The event is also part of this year's Ljubljana Art Weekend programme.
