Photo animation DITOPIA KIBLA combines photos from 2009 with new ones added in 2024 – captured in KiBela and artKIT exhibition and event rooms in Maribor, Slovenia.

The (first version of) project Ditopia Zaslon / Ditopia Display was originally exhibited at KiBela, 2009, as an interactive installation (based on live video tracking of hand movement by participating audience): https://bit.ly/ditopiaDisplay followed by Operabil Premestitev / Operabil Relocation; Irena Tomažin – voice and Marko Košnik – video instrument, KiBela, 2011: https://bit.ly/operabilRelocation

From the 2009 concert of Barbara Lüneburg and Marko Cicilliani in front of artKIT, we embark on a journey through time and space. We’ll visit the workshop of Kamila Śladowska, Michaela Dlouhá, and Robert Prakapovich in 2024. Next, we’ll experience Miha Horvat’s street performance. Then, we’ll head to KiBela for Biljana Đurđević’s exhibit. We’ll blend into the Ditopia Display interaction at KiBela and continue our journey into the exhibition of Ejti Štih, at the same place. Finally, we’ll return to Glavni trg, where we’ll reach the new end and the new beginning of this 1.5-kilometer journey spanning 15 years, all within 14 minutes.
