Artist Vlatka Horvat and curator Tevž Logar talk about the vulnerability of the body, the question of presence, and the creative process behind some of the artist’s most poignant works that explore the ways we inhabit a space or travel through it, either with our eyes or our bodies.
Conversation recorded on July 30, 2020, in conjunction with the online exhibition 'Resilience Test: Vlatka Horvat': gaepgallery.com/viewing_room/resilience-test-vlatka-horvat/
