Galerizi is a small gallery positioned in an outdoor hallway close to the centre of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The gallery is dedicated primarily to photography exhibitions.
The gallery is visible from afar, but only a few people actually venture inside. We were therefore faced with a challenge on how to attract the visitors without blasting away with the lights and how to engage them with the artwork once they are inside.
The concept breaks away from the usual static appearance of galleries and creates something much more lively and dynamic. This plays well with the location of the gallery, which is very close to the biggest youth cultural centre in Ljubljana called Metelkova.
We designed & built the whole exhibition strip and used motion tracking lighting enabled by our own control system called LightAct. It makes the backlit artworks appear only when there is someone in the vicinity. This creates a unique type of a gallery where the visitors (re)create the layout of the exhibition with every step they make.
