Separation

Separation, realization of sculptural group on the thirty years anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain, Mikulov, freedom trail, 2019

The Sculpture Separation is composed of two parts, which evoke in us a feeling of tension due to imaginary materials that would fit into each other when they are joined, even though they are so far apart that their connection is impossible. Separation is located near the town of Mikulov and the place where the Iron Curtain led. The sculpture was launched on the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtains, as a reminder of everything and everyone who was separated by the regime. The path that leads through the sculptural group can be understood as the intersection of this tension, which would create a system and a person walking along the path, so that he can directly confront the sculptural group. Lime and ash trunks 3 meters high are minimally machined with geometric notches and the surface trunks in the case of linden are roughly cut with a chisel, in contrast to the ash trunk, which is ground to a smooth finish. The sculptures also show another drawing of wood, which is left in its raw form. Despite this diversity of the two halves of the tribes and the distance between them, we see that the statues belong together.
