• 00:00:02.702
• placed in the Slovak National Gallery was her solo exhibition.00:00:07.979
• 00:00:07.979
• This solo exhibition together with the scholarship in New York00:00:12.180
• 00:00:12.180
• were parts of the Oskár Čepan Prize which Petra Feriancová won in 2010.00:00:15.680
• 00:00:15.680
• After her return from New York,00:00:20.022
• 00:00:20.022
• she had several months to prepare her solo exhibition.00:00:24.292
• 00:00:24.292
• The solo exhibition did not take place until October.00:00:31.483
• 00:00:31.483
• Because after coming back from the scholarship in New York,00:00:38.170
• 00:00:38.170
• she had to stay in isolation because of some health problems.00:00:41.349
• 00:00:41.349
• She had to stay home for several months,00:00:46.758
• 00:00:46.758
• and her world was limited to the environment she stayed in.00:00:55.209
• 00:00:55.209
• She could not go out so she fixed on the things surrounding her.00:00:59.259
• 00:00:59.259
• One of the thing was the book about Lord Byron´s life.00:01:08.103
• 00:01:08.103
• It is a Lord Byron´s autobiography. It describes his travelling around Europe.00:01:15.308
• 00:01:15.308
• It represents a kind of a metaphor because when Petra Feriancová was isolated,00:01:27.397
• 00:01:27.397
• the travelling was an open window into the world for her.00:01:37.004
• 00:01:37.004
• All the exhibition was presented in the style of museum installation.00:01:43.624
• 00:01:43.624
• It was installed in showcases.00:01:54.561
• 00:01:54.561
• It was connected to the fact that she had several photos00:01:58.789
• 00:01:58.789
• depicting the manner of presentation from artist towards viewer.00:02:02.338
• 00:02:02.338
• I think her works and their presentation are well thought out.00:02:08.692
• 00:02:08.692
• She works on them for a long time, and very carefully.00:02:16.571
• 00:02:16.571
• Unlike the other authors,00:02:22.806
• 00:02:22.806
• Petra´s idea about installation develops during the instalation itself.00:02:33.408
• 00:02:33.408
• It means that she collects any amount of pictures she is interested in at that time.00:02:36.144
• 00:02:36.144
• When the date of exhibition is approaching00:02:40.836
• 00:02:40.836
• the creative process starts.00:02:43.482
• 00:02:43.482
• All the material collected is taken to the gallery where it is installed.00:02:48.143
• 00:02:48.143
• And there the final phase of the creation.00:02:55.883
• 00:02:55.883
• I often perceive her final installations as a "gesamkunstwerk"00:02:59.252
• 00:02:59.252
• because I know the process of origin.00:03:03.320
• 00:03:03.320
• She spends lot of time on the spot. She thinks of the space and her works.00:03:06.259
• 00:03:06.259
• She creates a complex of things that can´t be taken separately.00:03:11.992
• 00:03:11.992
• It is necessary to perceive them as a whole.00:03:19.080
• 00:03:19.080
• As well as in the Slovak National Gallery when one entered the room00:03:22.608
• 00:03:22.608
• it was a complex, one work, one installation.00:03:25.867
• 00:03:25.867
• There were no legends, nothing. It makes sense as a whole only.00:03:31.756
• 00:03:31.756
• The installation was created on the spot.00:03:40.908
• 00:03:40.908
• In fact the installation may be intuitive.00:03:43.650
• 00:03:43.650
• Petra changes the installation a lot when she deslikes it.00:03:46.288
• 00:03:46.288
• I think the intuition is in the background, however it is well thought out.00:03:57.749
• 00:03:57.749
• In fact it can be spoken about alchemy here.00:04:07.955
• 00:04:07.955
• She is not finished until she perceives her work installed as a complex.00:04:12.543
