Zamik III – Zamaknjeni sistemi – IZIS festival main exhibition, Koper

From 6 to 22 November 2026, Libertas and Bastion in Koper host the main exhibition of the 14th IZIS festival, Zamik III – Zamaknjeni sistemi (Shift III – Shifted Systems). Starting from the question of what happens when a system lags, the show looks for delay within systems themselves: in the lags, repetitions, echoes, loops and resets of digital, mechanical and natural processes. It treats this shift as a possible strategy of resistance to the demand for hyperproductivity – a pause, a gap, a rest or a crack. Twelve works by artists and collectives are on display. They include underwater soundscapes of Adriatic seagrass meadows created with the Marine Biology Station Piran, an installation inspired by the Škocjan Caves, chromatograms of soil polluted with so-called forever chemicals, and a zinc plate that slowly disintegrates over the course of the exhibition. Participants: Format C, Oskar Kandare, Urška Preis, Lara Reichmann, Lina Rica, Saša Spačal, Swamp_Matter, Robertina Šebjanič, Ida Hiršenfelder and Dr Ana Lokovšek (NIB – MBP), Lukas Truniger, Staš Vrenko and Luiz Zanotello. Curator: Irena Borić. Opening hours: Libertas daily 9:00 AM–9:00 PM; Bastion Mon–Fri 5:00–8:00 PM, Sat–Sun 10:00 AM–1:00 PM and 4:00–8:00 PM.
