Jatun Risba at TTT2025

In 2025, Jatun Risba participated in TTT2025 / TABOO – TRANSGRESSION – TRANSCENDENCE in Art & Science in Ljubljana with two projects: The Intimacy of Otherness and eliXir.

The Intimacy of Otherness was presented as a 60-minute multimedia performance lecture. At TTT2025, in Kino Šiška, the work was shown in its complete format for the first time, with all three acts performed together as an integrated structure. The project builds on the artist’s long-term research into embodiment, vulnerability, and systemic power relations. Grounded in lived experience, it examines how intimacy and otherness are socially constructed within medical, sociopolitical, and cultural frameworks. Combining spoken text, voice, and visual material, the performance operates as a critical reflection on interdependence, difference, and relational structures.

In parallel, eliXir was presented as an art–science–technology initiative developed on the xMobil platform. The project engages local foraging practices, ecological experimentation, and community-based knowledge exchange, addressing food autonomy and resilience through participatory formats.

Together, the two projects contributed to the program by foregrounding embodied knowledge, ecological awareness, and collective processes of inquiry.
