razstava
do 4. 7. 2026
Projekt Poskušam ne razmišljati o smrti in gradbenih materialih za izhodišče jemlje azbestne delce in potencial njihove latentne prisotnosti. Azbestna vlakna se kljub povzročanju mnogih neozdravljivih bolezni in kroničnih stanj še vedno pogosto pojavljajo v vsakdanjih materialih, kot so vodovodna napeljava, strešna kritina in izolacija.
Dejstvo, da učinki stika z azbestnimi mikrodelci dolgo ostanejo nevidni, saj se znaki bolezni pri človeku pokažejo šele 20 do 40 let kasneje, umetnica poveže z znaki in procesi razkroja analognih fotografskih materialov. Tako kot neulovljivi stiki človeka z delci azbesta v telo naselijo potencial bolezni, vsak filmski material v sebi nosi potencial postopnega razkroja, prepoznavnega po srebrnkasti povrhnjici na površini filma ali papirja, v angleščini poimenovani silver mirroring (srebrno zrcaljenje). Pri obeh procesih je nemogoče ugotoviti, kdaj se bo razkroj pokazal na površini, kdaj postal zaznaven in otipljiv, kdaj se je začel, se bo sploh kdaj odvil in kaj točno ga je povzročilo. Umetnica tako tematizira nezmožnost napovedovanja prihodnost in vplivanja na potek preteklosti, ter željo, da bi lahko pravočasno prepoznali sile, ki ju določajo.

ARTIST PER MONTH / Olja Simčič Jerele: I Try Not to Think of Dead Things and Plumbing
exhibition
until 4. 7. 2026
The project I Try Not to Think of Dead Things and Plumbing takes as its starting point asbestos particles and the potential of their latent presence. Despite causing numerous incurable diseases and chronic conditions, asbestos fibres still frequently appear in everyday materials such as plumbing, roofing, and insulation.
The artist links the fact that the effects of contact with asbestos microparticles remain invisible for long periods—with symptoms appearing only 20 to 40 years later—to the signs and processes of decay in analogue photographic materials. Just as the elusive human contact with asbestos particles implants the potential for disease within the body, every film material carries within it the potential for gradual degradation, recognisable by a silvery oxidation on the surface of the film or paper, known as silver mirroring. In both processes, it is impossible to determine when the decay will manifest on the surface, when it will become perceptible and tangible, when it began, if it will ever fully unfold, or what exactly caused it. The artist thus addresses the inability to predict the future or influence the course of the past, as well as the desire to be able to identify the forces that determine them in time.
Curator: Lucija Klauž
