Description
Ana Likar works in intermedia, always starting with questions about the conditions for the production of narratives and images, and tries to address what remains hidden. The undercut ideas of progress, the ruins of modernity, ideological loops in popular science discourses and travel in time and space (the universe) are topics that often find form in her works through layering, (non)transparency and repetition. Recently, she has been creating mainly video installations, and the works presented at the exhibition are thematically in line with the author’s broader interest in hibernation and unproductivity. The photo from the depot of the Natural History Museum is part of the Diorama project and focuses on waiting for a better space and time. Its starting point is the depot of the Natural History Museum of Slovenia, located in the BTC City shopping complex in Ljubljana. It has housed a large part of the museum’s collection for decades, although the conditions for its maintenance are not entirely adequate. The Sleeping Goddess, meanwhile, is the oldest known statue of a sleeping human, reproduced by the artist whenever she has no other ideas.
