Leo Černic: A Glimpse of Love

A Glimpse of Love is an exhibition based on Leo Černic’s animated film Cosmonauts, a story about an intergalactic cruise for singles, lonely souls yearning for touch, pleasure and, above all, closeness in the vastness of space. Delfino, Rita, Zenf, Captain and other passengers are imperfect heroes, vulnerable in their eccentricity, torn between their own desires, fantasies, and attempts to connect with one another. Using original wash drawings, prints, sound, and optical elements, the display gives insight into their worlds and the filmmaker’s typically grotesque, raw, and deliberately unpolished visual language. The gallery space plays with the sensation of intergalactic travel, with the cosmos gliding past the ship’s windows, and the inside pulsating with the beat of a party.

 

Leo Černic (Čino) is an independent Slovenian-Italian animator. In his work, he focuses on quirky, mischievous characters and their vulnerabilities, creating stories that interweave humour, warmth, and the absurd. His graduation film Pentola has won awards at numerous international festivals, while his professional debut Cosmonauts continues its successful festival run after premiering at the Berlinale.
