Bratislava, Slovakia
I am an educated architect and graduated fine artist from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague currently doing doctoral research. My thesis focuses on the connection between performance and architecture based on an extended approach to space through the body, dance, sound, and other inputs. My work was presented in the Slovak and international context in solo and group exhibitions. I was a finalist of the Oskár Čepan Prize for Slovak emerging artists (2015) and the Novum Foundation (2017).

Type of project
  • Systemic changes

Nowadays, we face the urgency to redefine our position in the world and search for solutions for survival in times of ecological and environmental threats. Performance is powerful critical tool for examining disputes over not only architecture but also the ability to initiate societal change Space and surface, time and place, data and materials are reconfigured and re-evaluated in completely new ways through a "living" matrix, constantly expanding our experience as well as our knowledge and understanding of the environment we share together. This effort is based on the need to find a strong sense of the different layers of reality than just material.

I have been trying to discover and redefine connections between performance and architecture since 2012. Research results in a series of workshops for professionals as well as broader public, where they can gain performative skills. The method is based not only on performance but also on choreographic practice or physical theatre.
