The sculptures by Slovenian architect Katja Paternoster describe the phenomenon of the coexistence of the most diverse creatures in a common habitat. The artist’s intention is to show the diversity of animals that live among us – and yet largely unnoticed. Paternoster’s sculptures are made of wire and are staged with light in the castle courtyard. For Katja Paternoster, light is the element that has the greatest influence on her work as an architect and on her life. It is only through the use of light that form becomes visible and colors and surfaces can be perceived.
