Ex Topia is a research-based artistic intervention set in the postglacial landscape of Triglav glacier in the Slovenian Alps. The project was created in collaboration with scientists from Anton Melik Geographical Institute ZRC SAZU and a heterogeneous group of 32 participants in august 2017.
Ex Topia is a documented artistic intervention dedicated to the disappearing Triglav glacier, which shrunk from 36ha to 1ha in just 70 years.
The project focuses on the landscape under the Triglav glacier that has been transformed due to climate change. The key question was the look and the feeling of the postglacial landscape, and the perception of it among participants that ascended to the glacier for the first time.
The result was a multimedia installation, which included scenes of filmed location, interviews with participants and music by Magnus Bugge.
