I decided to make an exhibition that I think will be attractive and nice for visitors.
It's also different from what I usually do.
The contents of the exhibition, the ones that are typical for my artworks, are kind of suppressed.
Another innovative thing is that I collaborated with a company that makes artworks on order, it's called Gutenart.
They crafted these artworks based on my designs.
We searched for materials and things that I consider to be pretty.
That's why I worked with the pearl, I simply consider it visually nice.
I also worked with these chubby baroque shapes in the shape of legs for the dressing table.
They are gold plated from the bottom.
So this is the main difference from my previous artworks.
There are references to artwork selling and the purchase of designer items in shops.
There's also commentary towards the church and its impact.
Then there are melancholy, and sadness after a breakup but also a joy that something that was broken is finally done.
The name Všetko čo vám v obývačke chýba (Exactly what's missing in your living room) is supposed to invite people to think about these topics.
The first thing done was the photograph, and its name actually is Photograph.
Pali Hovanec and I made the photography together.
The story behind is that Pali once found a little sculpture of Jesus on a street.
Its fingers were broken off.
I created a big, corpulent, visually pleasing frame and finished the photography with it.
The photo frame ties to another thing in the exhibition, that is the dressing table.
I used the planet from the movie Melancholy by Lars von Trier and it serves as the background or the backside of the dressing table.
There's a photography of a plant.
It's the only existing photograph and not of high quality.
I used to have that plant at home, I took care of it and as the breakup came, the plant suddenly died.
So this photography of the plant is in front of planet Melancholy.
The third object is the lamp.
I found these objects randomly together in my apartment, and
I felt like they have a connection between each other and a story.
I decided to just use a sort of movie-like lighting on these objects and create a lighting device out of them.
The last thing you can see at the exhibition is the name of the exhibition itself,
it has moved into a level of being an artwork by itself.
The initial idea of the exhibition was that I wanted it to look like a window of a designer furniture shop.
The sign with the name of the exhibition was supposed to be on the window and lure the visitors in.
During the process of planning and creating the artworks, we decided that the sign
created in collaboration with Marek Menke deserves its own place in the exhibition.
That's how it became an artwork on the exhibition.
