The exhibition surveys the work of contemporary Slovak and Czech authoresses who reflect current issues such as body, corporeality, identity, relationships (children, family) and work with family memoirs.

 There is a rule, that when there is an exhibition of authoresses, there is an automatic presumption of a project associated with feminist matters. The aim of the exhibition is not to take feminism as the only one basis but not to even define it in a negative way.

Kateryna Khramtsova filmed a short documentary about a non-binary performer and soldier entitled Qirim (2023), which has been screened at many film festivals, both here and abroad. In the accompanying essay, Kryštof Kočtář presents the film in the context of Khramtsova's artistic work.
Jiří Thýn approaches the photographic medium, objects, site-specific installations, and video installations intuitively. In his own words, he tries to work with photography as if he were painting. This allows him to express himself authentically and emotionally through gestures. The author also draws digitally with a computer cursor, without striving for consistent perfection. He is now looking for a way to work with photography in a completely immediate way, moving toward the principle of chance in the digital process. The exhibition Silence, Torso, Presence encourages quiet reflection, contemplation of the perception of time not only in photography but also in the history of sculpture, and reflection on "torsos" which, although they evoke heaviness, refer to the basic forms and principles of our existence.
