Artist Talk
with Klára Hosnedlová
Klára Hosnedlová. There and Back
Artist talk with Klára Hosnedlová and the curators of the exhibition Klára Hosnedlová. To Infinity Adam Budak and Alexander Wilmschen.
This is a conversation about the whimsical romance of our dreams of infinity and the capsules of time, illusionary depth and omnipresent surface, skin and metamorphosis, post-bodies in rebirth, oblique mirrors of humanoid selves and the clouds of opaque matter, incubators of corporeal poetry and a voyeuristic gaze, the ecology of intimacy and a claustrophobic womb of overexposure, androgyny and queerness, undefined moments of futurity and post-industrial, dystopian world at the brink of exhaustion, shamanistic rites of renewal and redemption, a possible and necessary new genesis of the post-human and post-nature, a post-feminine subjectivity, open-ended and nomadic, a liberating practice of nonconformity, our vulnerability, care and unconditional love...
