P L A T E AU R E S I D U E: Subpersona / Terra Ignota
14 October–2 November 2021
Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka, Croatia

The artistic tandem P L A T E AU R E S I D U E, which exhibited at the KiBela exhibition space in April this year, is hosting an exhibition Subpersona / Terra Ignota at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, Croatia. The exhibition opening will be on Thursday, 14 October 2021, at 7.30 p.m.

Sub Persona explores the importance and ethics of human forest management, while the latest sensory video installation Terra Ignota addresses the sensory experience of biodiversity loss.

P L A T E AU R E S I D U E is an imaginary identity of the artistic duo Aljaž Celarc (graduate geographer [Faculty of Arts] and master of photography [AKV St. Joost, NL]) and Eva Pavlič Seifert (graduate art historian [Faculty of Arts] and MA in Visual Culture [Aalto University, FI]). Their works deal with landscape ecology and new media and are looking for new ways to raise public awareness. The starting point of their artistic production is video installations. In their video works, they apply voice to project participants and collaborators, natural forms such as rocks, air, organisms, and other sets of substances, which they reorganize into new material forms and new media systems. They presented their works in most major art institutions in Slovenia. For their work in 2019, they received the Tesla Award of the Museum of Transitional Arts MoTA and participated in exhibitions abroad. Eva and Aljaž have been living and working in Novi Kot since 2019, in the hinterland of the forests of Gorski Kotar and Snežnik, where they designed the Hiša Mandrova/Mandrova House project in 2020. They are dedicated to creating, regenerative self-sufficiency, manual woodworking, and reviving the area's building heritage in question.
