It was on display within a section <a href=\"http:\/\/heimtextil.messefrankfurt.com\/frankfurt\/en\/besucher\/ausstellersuche.exhibitordetails.html\/university-of-ljubljana-department-of-textiles-graphics--design.html\">Campus<\/a> where the design faculties are represented. The main theme was once more <strong>\u201cHotel Europe\u201d<\/strong>, which functions as \u00a0a metaphor. It demonstrates Europe as a space of cultural interchange and different ways of life, a place of closeness and human connectedness. The theme poses a question on the purpose and the sense of architecture &#8211; what defines the living ambient, the intimacy and the feeling of being desired and welcome? We arrive to the answer &#8211; <strong>the human being<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The idea was depicted in two art pieces: <strong>a textile pattern<\/strong> \u2013 an image of giant human hands that are playing with a string; and<strong> a wallpaper<\/strong> with a series of faces &#8211; <strong>frieze<\/strong> &#8211; cut out of the textile surface. The pattern, woven in a <strong>jacquard technique<\/strong> formed a spatial curtain \u2013 <strong>propylaeum<\/strong> &#8211; an architectural symbol for a passage to the other side into a new existence, where the faces, a sublime tactile experience were found on the opposite wall. The curtains and the wallpaper were put in the space in a way that was inviting to visitors to experience the textile from various perspectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exhibition by students and their mentors at the fair Heimtextil in Frankfurt, Germany &nbsp; Master\u2019s students of textile design, Petra \u0160ink, David Bacali, Deni Pregelj, Tudor Matache, Sara Lovri\u0107-Anu\u0161i\u0107, Majda Kramberger, Admir Kapi\u0107, Nejc \u0160ubic, Tja\u0161a \u010cerne, Evgenija Zafirovska and Julija Kaja Hrovat under the mentorship of professors Marija Jenko, Jana Mr\u0161nik and Marjeta \u010cuk &#8230; <a class=\"view-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/en\/event\/koto-showcase-at-the-fair-heimtextil\/\">Read more<\/a>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":7497,"template":"","class_list":["post-7506","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7533,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7506\/revisions\/7533"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ntf.uni-lj.si\/oto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
