Photo Gallery
A cultural & Creative Haven In Ljubljana, Slovenia
This
collection of photos is separated into several categories; the
galleries
represent themes that emerge within Metelkova. There are also more
images of several of our interview subjects. Ambient noise has been
paired with these images to communicate a more accurate representation
of this unique space.
“The significance of Metelkova lies in its very organic structure, the way how it exists and acts. Everything that in the world of applicable logic and hermetic hierarchy appears to be chaotic, meaningless and waste-like can, in places like Metelkova, constitute itself as a mirror image of our complex civilization consciousness. Our consciousness is not only made of what we want and like…it is also made of what we do not like and are afraid of."
– Aleksij Kobal

"Metelkova lives in ourselves, in each individual, this is why we try to preserve it through artistic activities. Each work of art, including things like a grill processed as a mosaic, adds to the comprehension of this idea. It is here that I am faced with another kind of beauty, which is far from the established artistic comfort and, hence, much more direct.” – Aleksij Kobal
