Memorial Hanke

Memorial Hanke, visualization, open competition to create memorial, Ostrava, 2018.

The Memorial to the Victims of the International Camp for the German Population HANKE portrays and reminds the terrible crimes that have happened here. Every victim (a total of 231) who was executed here without a court represents a light hole drilled into a memorial plaque.  The shadows that are projected on the ground, due to the drilled holles, leave a temporary  imprint on the places where was the camp placed. The memorial plate itself is inclined as well as the  motives of those who tortured their victims and executed without trial and the rusty material increases the effec. The incline surface should cause the feeling of fear.  Text is placed on the bottom sheet so the viewer is forced to be confront with the object itself.  The strait shadow of the monument is timed for the afternoon hours.

Circulation, seven-day cycle

Watercolor paper A1, pen, 7 pieces from Monday to Sunday, 2017.

Circulation deals with everyday repetition in our lives. This seven-day cycle expresses my traveling around Brno city. We all are moving again and again in some cycle and our paths are constantly being repeated. This work should point to the absurdity of repetition in our lives, whether it is the repetition of the cycle of going to work, school and home, or the circulation of life and death. Everything keeps repeating again and again. This procedure is expressed by a curve that is full of twists and turns and supplemented with notes from current days and creates a visual image of the everyday cycle.

Circulation

Pex/Al/Pex tube, digital LED strip, OFF/FORMAT gallery, another realisation in Palace of Noble Ladies, 2017.

Circulation model tries to solve the problem of repeating cycles. It is a object with organic shape, created from a tube with light circulation on it. This object is based on idea of human constantly repeating actions and processes, whether they refer to the human body and mind, nature or society. The twisted line can be seen as a route or path, but it can also remind a movement without a clear goal, or going around in circles. The omnipresent cycle, is then an individual contribution to the whole and it can be presented as a irregular curve full of dramatic twists and turns, ups and downs. The light (made by digital LED strip), which constantly copies the organic shape of the tube, represents an endless flow of information. The object tries to point out the never ending circulations in our lives; The object problem does not solve, it is rather a statement.

Absurdium

Bench of Ferdinand Vaněk, visualization of bench, material: corten, 2016.

This bench depict absurdity of person Ferdinand Vaněk. Paradoxes and absurdities are the main theme of Václav Havel theatre plays, such as Audience, where is the main character Ferdinand Vaněk. The bench is paradoxical in sense that we can not sit on it. The main idea of the whole project is to stretched the shape to the height of eight meters. The bench is made by simple geometric shapes, for aesthetic and practical purposes. It emphasizes the size of the personality of Václav Havel. The bench also plays with the idea of how far we can go. The bench would be made by corten because of the revolutionary as the character of Václav Havel himself. Corten was elected not only for the idea but also for practical reasons. The place where the bench would be built is park of the National Technical Library in Prague, Dejvice. The park itself lacks any accent and the bench would be the dominant element. This place emphasizes the absurdity of the bench that we can not sit and read a book.

Needling

Object made for old factory building Mosilana, Brno, spring semester, spools and knitting needles, 2016.

Needling is an object made by spools and needles. I have used material that follows the past of Mosilana former textile factory, which was located in this place. Spools from yarn come from the textile factory AB-tex, where is this material throw away as a waste. Their colour is chosen randomly, according to the availability of the largest amount of the same colours. Their colour is determined by the softness of the yarn. The connection material is knitting needles, which violently intersect each spool. The shape is based on the possibility that the material permits. Therefore the work in a way responds to the decline of the textile industry in Brno and the shape follows this idea. The biggest development of the textile factories in Brno took place during the interwar period, there were about 40 woollen factories. After the Second World War Ministry of Industry made decree about joining of private companies. Vlněna and Mosilana originated by nationalizing and joining of some former originally Jewish and German private factories. Most of the textile industry in Brno after 1989 gradually disappeared. NEW Mosilana owner becomes the Italian group Marzotto Group. Although this work does not solve the problem of dilapidated buildings of the former Moravian Manchester, it evokes the contrast between the old gray past and colourful present.

Layering

Watercollour painting, Spring semester, 2016.

These paintings depict my favorite places, but instead of classic paintings of these places I used shapes of contour lines.
