Mladi Raziskovalci VIII. – Anja Kralj – es-/sún- thesis

The Young Researchers (Mladi raziskovalci) platform is a series of concerts/performances focused on artist residencies. The platform seeks to integrate a selected young artist into professional infrastructural and research environments. One of this year’s two artists-in-residence is Anja Kralj, who will present the project ‘es-/sún-thesis’ with her ensemble.

It’s always before ⸺

es-/sún- thesis is the fusion of the temporal finite — that(,) (we are) (not) forever. — with

infinite straight line. [Inside and outside the established frames of

(compositions), we present ourselves unwittingly to the fundamental capacity of perception, —

process. — which opens the possibility of new creation, to all and for all.
