The project Reconnected is a textile installation comprising countless threads.
It will be handmade by diligent women. It is a memory of and a tribute to the collapsed textile industry of Maribor, to the disadvantaged female labour force and to the power of manual work. The textile installation will be placed in the entrance hall of Probanka Maribor in the form of a light beam that illuminates the room and the people. The thread – the installation’s basic structural element – despite its seeming triviality, unimportance and vulnerability, forms an indestructible, solid and powerful work of art. The thread is a symbol of the individual’s reconnection to himself, to the community and to the town.
