The site-specific project at the Premogovnik Velenje unfolds as a choreographic exhibition across different spaces of the mine, where the body is explored as an instrument of labor, movement, resistance, and collectivity.
Through a series of separate yet interconnected scenes—from intimate duets and wall choreography, through disorientation and industrial mechanics, to political emptiness and rituals of solidarity—a multilayered “workers’ atlas” of the collective body emerges.
Each space opens a different relationship between matter, sound, text, and movement, transforming the mine into a living archive of physical and social experience.
