FEMME T'AFFALE
In the poetics of identities, it is important to return to a certain point of zero, which is also a breaking point. My self is breaking through certain limitations and constantly fighting against itself. It is always in the process of becoming, and this process is always accompanied by a certain disjointedness. I am nobody and at the same time I am everybody. I belong to the anywheres, to those who are at home everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I don’t know if that is a reason to be sad.
Ladislava Gažiová is a painter, curator and activist from Slovakia and has been living in Prague for some years. Her early work is characterized by the inspiration of graffiti, using of stencils and sprays, and work with social topics. In recent years, however, Gažiová has been focusing on curatorial work, in which social themes, particularly the topic of the Roma minority, are at the heart of her work.
Kateřina Komm's artistic work to date clearly reveals her intention to layer, compose, and continuously transform countless images, texts, and records of events, inspiring experiences, and impressions from various places, times, and spaces. The author's reflections on vividly resonant moments open up space for further associative ideas, which form richly branched lines of meaning in the resulting sculptures, objects, drawings, and installations. Some of the works were created based on inspiration from a specific object, work of art, or architecture, while others may be a direct imprint of a found object, or even a magical experience of a symbolic nature.
