Artwork description: The diploma project Bilancio is a site-specific installation that embraces minimalism as a defining feature of my artistic expression, rooted in geometry, spatial clarity, tension, and the powerful impact of materials on the viewer. It is conceived for industrial spaces, where the contrast of white and the specific use of architectural interiors create a strong visual effect. At the same time, the installation remains flexible, adaptable to any interior connected to history. Architecture here represents a vital and historical/industrial space that can be reimagined and given new purpose. Within it, the timeline of past, present, and future intersects. To find ourselves in such a space means that the most important act is the decision made in the present moment—a time reserved for reflection and consideration of life’s circumstances. The artistic installation draws attention to this present through the emotional experience it evokes. Its purpose is to halt us amid the constant flow of events that guide our lives. At the very core of the work lies the tension between two materials—glass and paper. A suspended long strip of paper is weighted by a cuboid object made of glass. They are alike yet different in their strength, flexibility, structure, color, translucency, and visual perception. Together, they form a unique installation in which they complement one another, balancing on the edge of their possibilities and becoming mutually essential. The site-specific installation of these noble and pure materials evokes feelings of uncertainty, tension, and even fear. The composition works with the weight and form of glass in contrast to the pliable strip of thin paper. The glass object, created using the demanding craft technique of pâte de verre, remains constant in each installation, while the paper, produced by modern industrial technology, adapts in its length and angle of suspension to each specific space. The installation of glass and paper was presented in three buildings of the former Mastný textile factory in Lomnice nad Popelkou, where the industrial site is gradually being transformed into cultural and multifunctional spaces. It was later shown in the University Gallery N in Jablonec nad Nisou, where the conversion from an old building into a contemporary gallery had already been completed. The third venue was the former Generator House in Janov nad Nisou, a building still awaiting renovation. Each space offered its own specific conditions that allowed for a unique site-specific installation of the work. The old Generator House once served for producing fuel gas for glass furnaces. Today, the site is defined by its distinctive floor and windows. The floor contains geometric openings—squares and circles—which, in dialogue with the installation, created a tense and evocative atmosphere.
