Adriena Šimotová and Adéla Součková — 1 + 1 = 1

Galerie Villa Pellé

The exhibition 1 + 1 = 1 connects the visual worlds of two generations apart, Adriena Šimotová and Adéla Součková. They both come from the sensitive medium of drawing and both make time present as a trace of physical and psychological transformation, in which the constants of human consciousness across time are manifested.

While Adriena Šimotová reflects on the internal network of relationships through the symbolism of the body and introvertedly descends to the founding Buberian questions between I and Thou, which underlie any temporal and spatial anchoring of the human being in the present, Adéla Součková emancipates herself from the sphere of purely personal statement towards the capturing of more general relationships that transcend the human being into the spheres of expanded consciousness. The first chosen creative path is introverted in nature, the second extrovertedly aims beyond the horizons of the European cultural framework. The first approach is a silent message, a solitary pause, a meditation; the second dynamically unfolds the context of static media by entering ritual and performative gesture and invites participation.
