GEOMETRY OF SILENCE, Nenad Sovilj
Geometry of silence: snowflake and precious stone in the Lapidarium
In the Lapidarium of the Archaeological Museum, Nenad Sovilj, a contemporary Croatian artist known for exploring form, light, and space, presents a sculpture that combines the shape of a snowflake and the shine of a cut gemstone. The installation changes its character by day and night, creating a space for pause and contemplation through the play of shadows, reflections, and silence.
FIRST SNOW, Saša Šekoranja
In the Oktogon Passage, a central light and sound installation has been set up with the lyrics of the song First Snow written in light, creating the shape of a ten-meter-high pine tree.
The background is the soundtrack of the song First Snow, performed by Gabi Novak. The lyrics were written by Ivica Krajač and the music was composed by Nikica Kalogjera. The entire space is filled with drawings and sketches of a winter town – a music pavilion, chimneys, treetops and other details that evoke the town's preparations for the holidays. The installation is a gift to the town and a dedication to Gabi Novak.
