installation

material: cutted book pages, acrylic painting, neon lamp, black thread


Installation is partly autobiographical and deals with the concept of a family house as an emotional space full of secrets, unspoken and misunderstood stories.

For the installation I used an old neon lamp cover and a book by a Slovak author dealing with family relationships. By cutting the words out of the pages I removed a story whose place was filled with a silence. Preserved punctuation points to emotions accumulated in family secrets.
