Statement

Curatorial statement

Katarína Hrušková (1984) works with photography, video, text, sound, and spoken word. Thematically, she addresses mundane, often overlooked objects and situations, using them to represent the need for a comfort zone and, at the same time, efforts made to move out of it.
