Perpetuo

PERPETUO is a site-specific installation created for the single-aisle Renaissance space of the Church of Santa Maria della Visitazione in Venice. It is a work that stands as a threshold between the real, the spiritual, and the virtual worlds, between which the Western civilization is gradually groping its way, often failing to distinguish their boundaries. In this sense, the never-ending loop of the figurative composition is a materialization of contemporary social architecture.

PERPETUO is a sculptural paraphrase of the endless proliferation of visual posts that dominate our reality; from automated scrolling on social networks and tailormade advertisements to the most private areas of everyone’s life. PERPETUO thus creates a unique space to stop and reflect on what we still perceive as real on the “net” and what is no longer real.

Artist

Veronika Psotková (*1981 Opava, Czech Republic)

Veronika Psotková's work is rooted in the principles of realistic figurative sculpture. Her sculptures recall classical figurative work. Since 2007, she has been creating spatial installations of wire sculptures that she sews by hand from black orgalvanized wire. She approached this material from a desire for lightness, literal dematerialization, and the possibility of direct expression. Her sculptures, made as largely transparent shells, tend to blend into the surrounding space and architecture. Her works thus become a splendid spatial design. Purposefully interacting with the architectural space of the exhibition has become essential for the artist, especially in recent years.

Veronika Psotková works with art galleries and other exhibition spaces, for which she creates site-specific, often monumental installations that allow her to experiment with the space itself. Light plays a crucial role in her work, accentuating the volume and structure of the sculptures, and the projection of shadows created by the light passing through the sculptures emphasizes the fascinating symbolism of the individual installations.
