BLIK BLIK Nevřeň
BLIK BLIK Nevřeň - 2024
In its eighth year, the BLIK BLIK festival is expanding beyond Pilsen. Echoes of the BLIK BLIK festival will take place on 5–7 April 2024 in the kaolin mine in Nevřeň.
With 300 inhabitants, the village of Nevřeň will probably become the smallest village in the world to host the festival of light. The unique underground environment of the kaolin mine will serve as the backdrop for the festival. The festival of light will thus take place in an unusual way during daylight hours.

INSTALLATIONS
Alhambra
Author: Kashmir Studio (CZ)

The icosahedron cut through by a delicate landscape in the Alhambra decor, is a welcome object of the festival. One of the smaller halls of the mine is illuminated by rays of sacred geometry reminiscent of Moorish palaces in Granada.
Animals
Authors: Suren Manvelyan (ARM) a Ivo Opl (CZ)
Cathegory: interactive installation
Chimpanzee, Mouflon, Ravenclaw or several lizards. This is just some of the animals that you can meet at various places along the mining route. Photos of the eyes were set in motion on retired cell phones. Just like in nature, animals disappear when disturbed by noise...
Echolokace
Authors: Julie Tampierová (CZ), Jakub Nosek (CZ)
Cathegory: videomapping
Occasional inhabitants of the mine - bats, use echolocation for orientation and hunting, a principle identical to radar. Projected images include pulsating circles, light waves and abstract swarms. Visual effects are synchronized with surround sound to create a multi-sensory experience.
Zrcadlení
Authors: Pavel Lishown Liška, Jakub Nosek, El Žebro (CZ)
Cathegory: light installation
Hundreds of mirrors and lighting design transform the trough of the main hall into a river of light full of reflections, color tones and ambient music.
Vodopád
Author: Niko Tiainen (FIN)
Cathegory: videomapping
An extraordinary waterfall surrounds the entrance gate to the main hall. In an endless loop, it alternates between a natural form and an artistic one, which defies the laws of nature and the flow of time.
Nevřeň - Pod zemí
Authors: Pavel Lishown Liška a Centrum Caolinum (CZ)
Category: projection
A tour of the mine in its natural form is worth visiting separately.
As part of the BLIK BLIK festival, you will learn basic information here in the form of a brisk projection.
Inspiro
Author: Kashmir Studio (CZ)
Cathegory: light installation
Thirty-two-sided object in the inspiro decor draws a gentle play of light and shadow on the generous walls of the mine. In this case, the shape that we also know as a soccer ball floats in space resembling a cosmic gate.
