Video mapping instalacija Olge Christopha TOUCH AND SUNSCREEN održat će se u subotu, 23.8. u 22h na Pjaci u dvorištu kompleksa kuća Grčina.
Zahvaljujemo svim suvlasnicima i Varji Deković na pomoći u organizaciji i komunikaciji.
Rad Touch and Sunscreen nastao je tijekom rezidencijalnog umjetničkog boravka na otoku tijekom proljeća 2025. kada su Olga i Christoph proveli mjesec dana u Jelsi.
Baziran je na audiovizualnim materijalima i somatskim impresijama napuštenih građevina i prirodne baštine oko otoka.
Istraživanjem drevnih ilirskih i rimskih ostataka, ruševine Tvornice ribe u Vrboskoj, napuštenog odmarališta Beograd u Jelsi te hotela i privatnih kuća stvorena je audiovizualna instalacija koja priziva usred zavojitih kamenih kala i čiji su intrinzični dio Jadransko more, borove šume i masline.
O umjetnicima:
Olga Wardega je poljska vizualna umjetnica koja trenutno živi u Portu. Inspiraciju crpi iz boja, struktura i slojeva svoje neposredne okoline, slikajući kroz medije instalacije, videa i video-mapping projekcije. Svojim radom nastoji inspirirati gledatelja da drugačije doživi vlastitu okolinu. Magistrirala je slikarstvo na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Gdanjsku, a svoje je radove izlagala na brojnim samostalnim i kolektivnim izložbama u Poljskoj, Portugalu, Španjolskoj, Italiji, Švicarskoj i Francuskoj.
Christoph Zeckel je njemačko-malezijski eksperimentalni glazbenik i umjetnik zvuka sa sjedištem u Portu. Zvuk doživljava kao igralište i polje istraživanja kroz analogne, digitalne i akustične zvukove, a njegov rad i glazba stvaraju impresivna zvučna iskustva koja teže samorefleksiji, zajedničkom emocionalnom mostu sa slušateljem i nesputanoj znatiželji prema dubokom slušanju. Posljednjih nekoliko godina predstavljao je svoj rad kroz nastupe uživo, zvučne instalacije i radionice na raznim mjestima i događajima kao što su Qualquer Galeria, Division Zero, Térmita, Open Box, Espaço Musas, Zona Autonomia, a ove godine i na nekoliko mjesta u Poljskoj, Albaniji i Švicarskoj.

@ Pjaca, courtyard of the Grčina house complex
Olga Christoph’s video mapping installation TOUCH AND SUNSCREEN will be held on Saturday, August 23rd at 10pm at Pjaca in the courtyard of the Grčina house complex. We would like to thank all co-owners and Varja Deković for the help in organization and communication.
The work Touch and Sunscreen was created during an artist residency on the island in the spring of 2025, when Olga and Christoph spent a month in Jelsa.
It is based on audiovisual materials and somatic impressions of abandoned buildings and natural heritage around the island.
By exploring ancient Illyrian and Roman remains, the ruins of the Fish Factory in Vrboska, the abandoned Beograd resort in Jelsa, and hotels and private houses, an evocative audiovisual installation was created amidst winding stone alleys and whose intrinsic part is the Adriatic Sea, pine forests, and olive trees.
About the artists:
Olga Wardega is a Polish visual artist currently situated in Porto. Drawing inspiration from the colours, structures and layers of her immediate surroundings, she paints through the mediums of installation, video and video-mapping projection. Through her work, she aims to inspire the viewer to experience their own environment differently. A master’s degree graduate in painting from the Gdańsk Academy of Fine Arts, she has shown her works in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Poland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and France.
Christoph Zeckel is a German/Malaysian experimental musician and sound artist based in Porto. Seeing sound as a playground and a field of exploration through analog, digital and acoustic sounds, his work and music create immersive sound experiences that aim for self-reflection, a shared emotional bridge with the listener and uninhibited curiosity toward deep listening.
For the last few years he has presented his work in live performances, sound installations and workshops in various venues and events such as Qualquer Galeria, Division Zero, Térmita, Open Box, Espaço Musas, Zona Autonomia and this year in several venues in Poland, Albania & Switzerland.
