If you change the landscape you change the body

This group exhibition weaves together two artistic perspectives, exploring the body as both subject and landscape through abstract shapes, fluid lines, and human assets. Fragile aesthetic impressions and shifts in scale create a delicate balance between negative and positive form, inviting viewers to place themselves within these ever-changing contexts of presence and reflection.
At the heart of the works lies the cyclical nature of the environment—where discarded waste and debris, once cast away, return through the slow decay of nature. The body, absorbing and reintroducing these remnants, becomes a vessel of transformation, caught in the chaotic rhythm of yin and yang. Destruction and renewal, contamination and regeneration exist in a constant, echoing the fragile equilibrium between what it means to be human.
Adam Vackar’s (*1979) work is conceptually driven and spans the disciplinary boundaries of visual art, biology, ecological thought, and biosocial themes. He examines the complex interactions between humans and non-native plants, exploring how knowledge production and power structures influence political, social, and spiritual relationships between humans and these plants. Vackar conducts artistic research on Giant Hogweed to explore questions from both non-human and human perspectives.

Miroslava Klesalová
Miroslava Klesalová (*1985) works with soft materials, fabric, and paper, conceptually developing technical printing and graphics. She has long reflected on the theme of cultural landscapes, socially and economically constructed and deliberately modified. In this, she takes into account her personal experience and transposes it into her work with "soft," tactile materials. The process aspect of creation is important to her.
Romana Drdová
Romana Drdová (*1987) is a visual artist working with objects, costume, and installation. Her work explores the aesthetic, material, and conceptual possibilities of contemporary art, reflecting on the relationship between visual culture, individuality, and social structures. She focuses on layering meaning and the tension between surface and content, employing a refined visual language inspired by fashion, design, and visual communication.
Tereza Štětinová
Born in 1987. Lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic. Tereza is one of the most original young Czech artists in the field of sculpture, although she graduated in photography from Prague’s FAMU. In her artistic practice, she primarily works with materials such as Carrara marble, alabaster, onyx and wood, which she elegantly combines with steel elements and natural details. Her sculptural works are often composed into thematic groups in the form of installation in a particular space, thus creating elaborate spatial assemblages.
