Bio 25: After Utopia
25th Biennial of Design Ljubljana, Slovenia

A short video series providing a glimpse of the small former mining town of Trbovlje, in Slovenia. The town and its people initially look indifferent, quiet, sleepy, grey. But its interiors hide secret, magical worlds; many people take-on fantastic lives and create imaginative realities, often hidden inside the walls of a house. Such cases include an astronaut, a Japanese scientist- artist, a robot, a dance group called ‘a miner’, youngsters working with NASA, a world renowned ski-uniform designer, someone building airplanes, a world famous art collective and industrial rock band, a puppet theatre, lace-makers, a creative collaborations platform, an urban games group, extreme sports athletes, marathons in the mines, a radio transmitter, a rotating stage, Europe’s tallest chimney, various gigantic machines.
