In ANTROPOMORPHIA, the dissociation between the real and the virtual is transformed through a visual mechanism into a sublimating process of latent pleasure mixed with expectations. The floating sculpture in the darkened space comes to life with the help of author-generated visual effects. The projections materialize the self-contained world of a kind of anthropomorphic and at the same time amorphous being that has visited us from outer space. We are immersed in it with the sound as an invitation to a non-verbal (meta)communication with the object, to embark on a journey through the vastness of the spaces of our minds.

A fluidity of the in-between space between the viewer and the unknown object is assembled: with the artwork we connect to the fictive world of our own perceptions and representations, of the intimate and social universe, of our being and our common (co)existence. ANTROPOMORPHIA, elusive and in fact invisible, establishes a link between the material and the spiritual through an extremely sensual and emotional experience.

The integration of different media, the physical, the material but invisible, and the visible and sublime, which is realized as an apparent reality, defines the field of metaphysicality of our perceptions through the formation of an illusion, which is achieved by relatively simple but very effective technical means and new media procedures in the creation of an artwork to which we connect in a complete spatial installation.

The hybrid sculpture and intermedia installation A(NTROPO)MORPHIA was conceived by the X-OP Association and created by a broader group of collaborators, including Gabrijela Filipović and Vesna Davidovič, in collaboration with KIBLA2LAB. A(NTROPO)MORPHIA was exhibited at KIBLA PORTAL from 16 November to 31 December 2022, in the scope of the International Festival of Art, Technology and Science KIBLIX 2022: Love and Peace, co-curated by Aleksandra Kostič and Peter Tomaž Dobrila.

Project is co-financed by Delavski dom Trbovlje, the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Slovenia.
