Vsa umetni�ka dela, zdru�ena pod naslovom Camera lucida, nazivom za napravo, ki za svoje delovanje potrebuje prisotnost svetlobe in tako omogo�a izrisovanje kontur �eljenega objekta, obravnavajo svetlobo kot bistvo vizualnega. Umetniki, ki sodelujejo na razstavi, so razli�nih generacij, prihajajo pa iz Slovenije in sosednje Hrva�ke.
Umetniki v svojih delih uporabljajo tehnologijo lu�i, video kamere in digitalnega zvoka, �eprav le-ta ni predmet njihovega izraza. Njihova dela imajo mo� transformerjev. Njihova energija nas o�ara in nas popelje v mirno zati�je: ponudi nam �ude�, izziv in nas obkro�i s svojimi spreminjajo�imi se prostori, tempom, zvoki in svetlikanjem. Ta pulzirajo�a energija nam pri�ara misterij, preizku�a na� razum, 'postavi nas na sceno', od koder lahko preverjamo na�e zaznavanje, ki se spreminja znotraj �asa in prostora. In vsaka na�a vrnitev v izku�njo vsakdana nam ponudi novo dimenzijo.
Prostor, v katerem se isto�asno zavemo zvoka, svetlobe in vetra, nam spro�i in vzpodbudi vpra�anje vsakdanjega okolja. Nato se gledalec potopi v okolje, ki vabi k umiritvi: mir, ti�ina, kontemplacija in neskon�ne nianse svetlobe in teme, ki dajejo nov smisel v nasprotju z dinamiko vsakdanjega urbanega �ivljenja.
Prikaz del iz zgodnjih �tiridesetih in sedemdesetih nudi gledalcu mo�nost lastne izbire poti, po kateri vstopa, se giblje in izstopa iz galerijskih prostorov, obenem pa izku�a dela skozi zatopljenost in �utnost.
SCCA, Zavod za sodobno umetnost - Ljubljana organizira te�aj za kustose Svet umetnosti. Razstava Camera Lucida je sklepna razstava te�aja.
All the works gathered here under the theme Camera Lucida, the name for the instrment that uses the presence of light enabling the process of tracing and drawing an object, are dealing with light as the foundation of the visual. The artists who take part in the exhibition are of different generations, all of them coming from two neighbouring countries - Slovenia and Croatia.
While the artists use light, the video camera and digital sound this technology is not in and itself the subject of their art. they have the power of transformers. They lull us delightfully into tyeir force - fields: they offer wonder, challenge and change as they surround us in their shifting spaces, tempos, sounds and luminace - in their pulsing energy. Each of these works offers mystery, tests our common sence, and "places us in a scene" where we can feel our perceptions altering within the concentrated zone of space and time that they conjure. Inside each work we sence too how the world will feel different once we emerge to engage anew with everyday experience.
There is a self conscious space of sound, light and wind which stimulate our sensual engagement and ask a question about the nature of everyday enviroment. Then the viewer plunges in the enviroments that invite him to slow down: silence, contemplation, stilness and the infinite nuances of light and dark structure which assumes new import against the bright, relentness dynamism of the contemporary urban background.
The journeys even to the early 40- ties and early 70- ties are experienced at a level that is determined by the viewer' s own choice of the pace with which they enter, move through and exit the chambers of the gallery, experiencing the works through absorption and sensation.
SCCA, Center for Contemporary Arts - organize course for curators of contemporary art 'Svet umetnosti' (World of Art). Exhibition Camera Lucida is final exhibition of the course.
