Katarína Balúnová (1982) 

is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and scholar working across painting, performance, installation, video, and text. Her practice explores utopia as a shifting field—interweaving historical narratives, symbolic structures, and speculative imaginaries within contemporary urban and ecological contexts. 

Within this framework, geometry plays a significant role as a principle for organizing the world, operating both as a visual language and as a conceptual tool that reflects underlying structures of reality and imagined orders of space. 

Approaching time as a cyclical and embodied condition, she reconfigures relationships between body, habitat, and collective myth. Across different media, she constructs situations in which image, action, and space operate as interconnected systems rather than discrete forms, often evoking abstracted perspectives that suggest expanded, more-than-human viewpoints.

A recurring motif is the three-faced figure—postgender entities mediating between past and future, the biological and the technological, spirituality and science fiction. Through this visual language, her work outlines a speculative cosmology where archaic symbols and contemporary imaginaries converge, with geometry acting as a bridge between material and transcendent realms.

Engaging with utopia as an ambivalent condition—between critique of the present and projection of possible futures—her work moves between architecture, memory, and myth, bringing these imaginaries into dialogue with contemporary ecological and social crises.
