Eva Koťátková for 100pcs

Eva Koťátková is one of the most famous contemporary Czech artists, not only at home but also abroad. She exhibited in leading museums and galleries around the world, this year also represented the Czech Republic at the Venetian Biennale. Her project told Lenka's giraffe, which was transported from Kenya to the Prague Zoo at the age of 50, where she soon died due to unsatisfactory conditions and became an exhibit in the National Museum. Monumental installations, supplemented by live performance, underlined the long -term characteristics of Eva's work - a huge personal engagement, empathy and sensitivity associated with the razor criticism of the oppressive institutions and the mechanisms of the present and the recent past. Early Koťátková's work focused on the topic of schools and binding ways in which "education" is often passed to to this day, or examined the doubleness of psychiatric diagnoses and institutionalization of so -called mental illnesses. In recent years, it has increasingly turned to the rights and voice of inhuman beings - animals, plants, natural formations. While earlier works often depicted human bodies literally trapped in oppressing structures, much more hope - sensitive solidarity, dreaming and introduction of alternatives, sharing in common through a better world. Eva's projects on all these plains draw audiences - incite common imagination and active approach to changes.

The collage selected for the 100pcs platform is from the Unrooted series. A girl with a semi -transparent scarf over her eyes has a body of salad leaves and petioles ending with roots. It is not clear whether it has been pulled out of the ground and is now to be sliced into the soup, or on the contrary, it is still waiting for its rooting - in which case this human -growing being could grow something extraordinary, something that exceeds the potential of both species.
