In this new body of work, Eva Koťátková continues her exploration of familiar surroundings. In a series of drawings, objects, installations, videos and photographs, the artist examines and often redefines the conventional meaning of ‘to be at home’.
Through creating a series of staged situations, the artist attempts to define the scope of deeply-rooted patterns and rules, which either influence or determine our behaviour as we attempt to integrate ourselves in, or, distance ourselves from, conventional structures.
Koťátková combines several techniques in her work. Her many drawings are initially created without a set intention, which is only later revealed in the final output, characterized by the playful exploration of the artist’s immediate environment and herself.
