The plaza of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb will briefly transform into a shared space for sound experiments, new experiences, and insights. This artistic project, conceived by Jan St. Werner, a leading sound artist of his generation, will consist of several elements.
On one side, there will be specially designed interactive panels that direct sound towards the exterior surfaces of the museum, creating intriguing reflections depending on the material and texture of the surfaces from which the sound waves bounce. Based on the assumption that each person perceives sounds differently, a space will be created between the sound sources and the reflecting surfaces that continuously changes in size and shape.
On the other side, the plaza will feature a "vibrational" installation that absorbs and amplifies vibrations from the environment, making visitors aware of the subtle energetic waves surrounding them. Through this installation, visitors can experience aspects of their environment that are usually imperceptible, fostering a deeper understanding and connection with the space they are in.

The transparency of the cocoon shell aims to establish a relationship between the artist and society. On one hand, the cocoon shell provides a sense of enclosure, security, and physical separation from the rest of the world, while on the other hand, it conveys a feeling of visual openness, exposure, and vulnerability. The transparency present serves as a reminder of the constant presence and vigilant gaze of people and the environment. It creates the impression of being under a microscope, like an object of scientific observation or research.
There are two reasons for the open and empty cocoon. The first is to invite the observer to interact, exchange perspectives, and experience what it feels like to be inside the cocoon. The second is the fact that the final project has been completed. Since it is the entire process of creation that defines the artist, rather than the final product, the cocoon remains empty. It merely witnesses the change that has occurred and the artistic process that has taken place.
The interactivity of the work and the shift in perspective it enables initiate a dialogue with the audience and encourage introspection.

With its central motive of light, which stands as an allegory of truth in both the physical and psychological construction of humanity, Lux Aeterna transcends the mere materiality of light. This concept, explored primarily through the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, encounters a conflict of contrasting ideas: activity-passivity, light-darkness, vitality-mortality. Through these well-known conceptual pairs, a perspective on the general nature of humanity emerges, wherein, up to a certain extent, individuals condition their state by navigating between these concepts through surrender and will.
To clarify the concept of tradition in modernity, which is grounded in ancient materials translated into contemporary contexts, it is essential to remember that we view the future through the lens of the past, thereby transforming the idea into a response to previous actions. Lux Aeterna, or Eternal Light, represents the continuous human quest for knowledge, underscoring the importance of constant vigilance and awareness.
