TEKOČE VIAGGIO
R.o.R festival, Nova Gorica, Slovenia 2025

site-specific video mapping installation

"Tekoče viaggio" is a site-specific video mapping installation at Nova Gorica's Town Hall, created as a result of R.o.R residency. This project is uniquely designed for the location, celebrating Nova Gorica and Gorizia as the European Capital of Culture 2025. Utilizing advanced video mapping techniques, this installation immerses audiences in the topics of the Soča river, borderlessness, and the region's rich history and myths, while highlighting the cultural fusion of Slovenian

and Italian influences.

The installation employs a combination of 3D animation, pre-recorded live drawing and experimental approach to create a multi-layered visual experience. The Town Hall's brutalist architecture serves as an artistic canvas, where the interplay of projections and the building's geometric forms enhances the narrative depth. The unique characteristics of the facade allow for a tailored visual storytelling approach that cannot be replicated on other structures.

Key themes are explored through the integration of digital techniques. The Soča River is depicted as a source of life and symbol of cultural fluidity, with animated visuals that flow seamlessly across the building's surface. Pre-recorded live drawing elements add a tactile quality to the projections, bridging the gap between traditional artistic techniques and contemporary digital art. This fusion of methods emphasizes the historical significance of the Town Hall while celebrating the natural beauty of the surrounding environment.

Utilizing cutting-edge technology, "Tekoče viaggio" offers a multi-sensory experience that engages audiences in a dialogue about art, history, and the environment.
