This project was one of my favourites!
In collaboration with National Museum of Slovenia, Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, Mangart production (and many others) we created 1:1 replica of Triglav tower (also called Aljaž tower or in Slovenian “Aljažev stolp”). While creating this replica we were also filming an amazing documentary called “Aljažev stolp: Ta pleh ima dušo” , which captures the history and importance of this symbol for our nation.
Together with Miha Moric we were responsible to create the tower from scratch, meaning all the metal and blacksmithing work was done by us. I’m honored to be one of the team, which has a picture on the top of Slovenia not with one, but with two towers! The replica is now safely stored in a museum. So, if you don’t feel like climbing to Triglav, you can always go check it out in town.
