Igor Zabel Award Programme 2026:𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗻 ⁄ 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 | 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
Thursday, 26 November | 18:00–19:30
Slovenian Cinematheque, Ljubljana
➠ A selection of avant-garde and experimental films and videos from the Kontakt Collection, the Slovenian Cinematheque Film Collection, and DIVA Station – Digital Video Archive. Curated by Aleksei Borisionok and Peter Cerovšek.
The selection from the Kontakt Collection, entitled Grounded Sun and curated by Aleksei Borisionok, anchors around Ukrainian artist Lesia Vasylchenko’s Tachyoness, named after the hypothetical particle that travels faster than light. The video assembles more than a thousand images of sunrises over Ukraine, processed with AI technology. Works by Zbyněk Baladrán, VALIE EXPORT, Ivan Galeta, and Mladen Stilinović trouble linear perceptions of time, scale, sound, and image to engage with archives and articulate politics of time, energy, and the solar.
Featuring key figures from the Slovenian avant-garde and experimental film and video, this programme, entitled Relations and curated by Peter Cerovšek, explores the dynamics of collective creation through temporary clusters, tandems, and creative alliances. The selection traces these trajectories: from Karpo Godina’s lens capturing the “Pupilija” ensemble striving for freedom and the performative actions within Ana Nuša Dragan’s circle, to Vinko Rozman’s choreographed interplay of bodies and objects; from Miha Vipotnik’s TV studio performance manipulating voice, sound, and live video signals, alongside Franci Slak’s collaborative work with participants of the student film colony in the Karst, to Boris Petkovič’s contemporary montage of Slak’s archival footage, capturing the legendary performance duo Marko Brecelj and Ivan Volarič Feo.
The programme approaches these artistic partnerships as unstable elements: short-lived and prone to decay, yet fiercely fertile and radiant precisely in their volatility.

➠ Izbor avantgardnih in eksperimentalnih videov in filmov iz zbirke Kontakt, filmske zbirke Slovenske kinoteke in digitalnega video arhiva Postaja DIVA. Kurirata Aleksej Borisjonok in Peter Cerovšek
Prizemljeno sonce, izbor iz zbirke Kontakt, je Aleksej Borisjonok zasidral okoli dela Tahioni ukrajinske umetnice Lesje Vasilčenko, poimenovanega po hipotetičnem delcu, ki potuje hitreje od svetlobe. Video asemblaž več kot tisoč podob sončnega vzhoda nad Ukrajino je bil obdelan s tehnologijo UI. Tudi ostala dela, avtorjev Zbyněka Baladrána, Valie Export, Ivana Galeta in Mladena Stilinovića, problematizirajo linearno dojemanje časa, merila, zvoka in podobe, da bi vzpostavila odnos z arhivi in artikulirala politike časa, energije in solarnega.
Razmerja, program Petra Cerovška, vključuje nekatere ključne akterje slovenskega avantgardnega in eksperimentalnega filma in videa. Osredotočen na dinamiko kolektivnega ustvarjanja v okviru začasnih grupacij, tandemov in ustvarjalnih navez sledi trajektorijam: od k svobodi stremečih “pupilčkov” v objektivu Karpa Godine do performativnih akcij v krogu Ane Nuše Dragan ter koreografirane igre človeških teles in predmetov Vinka Rozmana; od performansa Mihe Vipotnika v televizijskem studiu z manipulacijo glasu, zvoka in video signalov v živo, preko skupinskega filma, ki ga je Franci Slak ustvaril z udeleženci študentske filmske kolonije na Krasu, do sodobne montaže Slakovih arhivskih posnetkov v avtorstvu Borisa Petkoviča, na katerih nastopa legendarni performativni duet Marko Brecelj in Ivan Volarič Feo.
Program k tem umetniškim zavezništvom pristopa kot k nestabilnim elementom: kratkotrajnim in nagnjenim k razpadu, a prav v svoji nestanovitnosti silovito plodovitim.
