Foto 1: Three colours for one death
29. February 2024

NEW DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.

Thursday, March 7th, 6:00 PM, Sova Café

As part of the Evenings under the Arcades event series, editor Aljaž Krivec will engage in conversation with Janja Rakuš, the author of the award-winning novel published by the Litera Publishing House.

In this latest work, Rakuš, a writer and visual artist, weaves a narrative around Livia, the translator of Yves Klein's The Blue Revolution, and Tobias, a painter with a neurological condition granting him a heightened perception of colours. This setup signals the experimental and conceptual signature familiar from Rakuš's previous works.

Three Colours for One Death is a work that can be read repeatedly, thanks to its essayistic qualities, which constantly move between art historical, philosophical, and theosophical contemplations, but also due to its literary-aesthetic perfection. The work, which expands into a multimedia project by introducing the author's videos accessible via QR code, is the winning novel of the New Horizon competition launched by Litera for the best-unpublished novels (as stated on the book jacket).

The book presentation will be carried out in Slovene.
