The Republic of Slovenia presents “Soundtrack for an Invisible House” at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez and developed by the Nonument Group (Neja Tomšič, Martin Bricelj Baraga, Nika Grabar, and Miloš Kosec). Installed in the Arsenale Exhibition Spaces, the project transforms a forgotten architectural trace into a resonant space for listening, reflection, and historical re-examination.
Through “Soundtrack for an Invisible House”, the Slovenian Pavilion offers a contemplative space that connects past and present, asking urgent questions about the entanglements of religion, power, and conflict in today’s world.
