About the work

Marcela Putnová for 100pcs

Image Tension space (2021) is an introspectively tuned personal memory that consists of various memory characters (link to family photographs, straw figures, roses, monkey face, jeans, boots with a high hew). The central motive is the author's alter ego, which is built in the duvets (dreams) on his head. The cramming corner of the image space evokes internal anxiety. Everything is from the point of view of the figure upside down. The theme seems to reflect the complex process of adolescence. However, overflowing liberation is critically checked from family customs, stereotypes and conventions by the motif of a monkey, which represents a steady symbol of mechanical, mindless imitation. Everything seemed to be repeated generation. As if we were predetermined and cyclically imprisoned in our pre-given roles (Children-Rodic-Delies, etc.), who are escaping for a while, but which will eventually catch up. 

Lyrics: Petr Vaňous
