Black-out: war, darkness and the city
Destruction. Darkening the space. Invisible body. Underground space. Fear. Representation. Power. Materials. Absence of artificial light. Collective practices. This talk will explore designed or accidental events of the black-out in cities, time-space experiential artefacts and other materials of the transitional spaces of darkness created in the wartime in Sarajevo between 1992-1996. The attempt is to create an episodic narrative looking at the condition of darkness, different scales of darkening processes in the city, citizens’ defence and other night-time collective practices in between the dark and light.
Darkening Šibenik
Darkening Šibenik is night-time walking conversation with the citizens and visitors of the Iluminovizija about the spatial condition of the city in between the dark and light. It reflects on technological momentum of introduction of the artificial light in the city in 19th century and contemporary politics of lighting or darkening urban spaces of Šibenik.
