From the Heart

From the Heart is an interactive light installation centred around a heart sculpture that gently pulses with light in response to visitors’ participation. Audiences are invited to write personal notes and place them into a mailbox-like pedestal - a simple gesture that invites people to share a message from the heart. The work explores the interplay between personal expression and public space, encouraging connection through anonymous storytelling. Submitted messages will be transcribed and shared on a dedicated website, extending the installation’s presence beyond its physical form.

About the Artist:

Kristina Žetko (b. 1997, Ljubljana, Slovenia) is a visual artist working at the intersection of experimental analogue photography, projection art, light installations, and craft - all centred on light, the essential element of photography, as both subject and material. A significant part of her work is informed by personal experiences with epilepsy, shaping her main ongoing project Brainstorm.

Žetko holds a BA in Visual Communication Design and an MFA in Photography. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including the City Museum of Ljubljana (SI), Ljubljana Castle (SI), Museum of Gothenburg (SE) and Röda Sten Konsthall (SE).
