The exhibition is not a historical cross-section of Ester Krumbachová's work (although it does reflect it), but rather an extensive network of original material, numerous texts, images, and artifacts that Krumbachová dealt with and surrounded herself with throughout her life. It primarily presents Ester Krumbachová's archive/estate in thematically interconnected blocks, revealing her thinking about costume design, particularly the role of detail and the use of color, the interconnection of meaning, artistic form, and the overall atmosphere of a film, her work with text that copies spoken language and folk storytelling rather than high literary style, her relationship to magic, realism, subjectivity, male and female polarity, and the hierarchy of species and social and professional positions.

The works on display were created between 2003 and 2008. I made them all during my stay in the Czech Republic. I didn't paint much in India at the time, I was just experimenting. I mostly created works on paper as tests of what I would paint on canvas. However, it often happens that the papers turn out better than the canvases. I find papers more suitable for this type of work because of their delicacy. But it is difficult to exhibit them, as they require special frames and must be placed under glass, which causes a lot of trouble. That is why I have never exhibited larger papers.

For a long time, I didn't know what to write about this exhibition. It has no theme, the exhibiting artists have nothing in common, and their selection is purely subjective—I selfishly decided based solely on which paintings I personally found remarkable. It was only yesterday in my studio that one of the artists told me about a curator who reproached her for not providing any key to her paintings.
