Upper Town Tales
light installation
Memories and experiences of a certain space are what make that space specific and interesting; they enhance the presence of a past time and broaden the existing context. In this case, personal stories make Upper Town spaces more accessible than distant, mediated historical facts. They also encourage speaking out and pointing out current issues and needs.
While talking to the residents of the Upper Town in Zagreb, we discovered and collected stories and experiences, a starting point for light interventions. Various relations between text, light, and urban space, revealed information, problems, and potentials of certain locations from personal points of view and opened up a dialogue with other passers-by and citizens.
In collaboration with Maša Milovac.
