Zajtra pozývam na otvorenie vernisáže o 17:00 v Pistóriho paláci! ❤️‍🔥 OKSVOLNES SVOLNES LOVS Krajina a vlasť môžu byť definované prostredníctvom vzťahov ako miesto, kde sa človek cíti spojený s kultúrou, identitou a spoločenstvom. Je to miesto, kde sa prelínajú emocionálne väzby, ktoré vychádzajú z histórie, kultúry, prírody a vzájomných interakcií medzi ľuďmi. Je to miesto, kde sa cítime doma, kde máme korene a kde nájdeme zmysel príslušnosti a identity. Ako však definovať svoju identitu v kontexte vlasti, aké sú vzťahy medzi individuálnou a kolektívnou identitou a ako tieto faktory ovplyvňujú naše chápanie vlasti/krajiny a našu prítomnosť v nej? Kurátor: Eduard Kudláč Autori*rky: Jana Ilková, Dominika Jackuliaková, Lenka Lukačovičová, Michaela Nagyidaiová, Ján Kekeli, Šimon Parec, Robert Tappert ✨ Trvanie: 10. 05. - 30.05.2024 ✨ ✨ Komentovaná prehliadka: 21.5 ✨ — Tomorrow, I’d like to invite you for an exhibition openning at 5pm in Pistóriho Palace! ❤️‍🔥 OKSVOLNES SVOLNES LOVS Country and homeland can be defined through relationships as a place where one feels connected to culture, identity, and community. It is a place where emotional connections are intertwined, stemming from history, culture, nature, and interactions between people. It is a place where we feel at home, where we have roots, and where we find a sense of belonging and identity. But how do we define our identity in the context of our homeland, what are the relationships between individual and collective identity, and how do these factors influence our understanding of our homeland/landscape and our presence in it? Curator: Eduard Kudláč Artists: Jana Ilková, Dominika Jackuliaková, Lenka Lukačovičová, Michaela Nagyidaiová, Ján Kekeli, Šimon Parec, Robert Tappert ✨ Duration: 10.05. - 30.05.2024 ✨ ✨ Guided tour: 21.5 ✨

One of my latest assignments for @bloombergpolitics 📸 For this piece, I photographed rural villages and their surroundings in the Kežmarok district in eastern Slovakia. Located in the near vicinity of the High Tatra mountain range, on one hand, it is a region of investments from foreign companies and EU funds and at the same time significant poverty. “…20 years of EU membership have transformed Eastern Europe from an economic success into a political challenge for the bloc as nationalist parties exploit lingering income disparities. As ever, politics reflects economics. While EU money increased living standards, the division between wealthy, more liberal cities and the conservative countryside widened.” Written by Daniel Hornak & Andrea Dudik #photoassignment #centraleurope #bloombergpolitics #commission #visualstorytelling

Photographed last year on a sunny summer day in Bratislava, my grandmother and I went strolling around a lake, which is one of her favourite spots in the city. The clip is from a short video that is a part of this work, which shows her looking through a newspaper that I brought her from Greece.

Photographed when I stopped to check directions by the road, “kandylakia” in Greek means the roadside shrine and I found this one in northwestern Greece. The videos were also filmed during quick stops by the road, one in Greece and the other one in Slovakia.
