    System / mistake // Systém / chyba | 2014

This installation is made by three separate objects and carries a common theme - system. Two of the objects use basic mechanics to run the whole system – water circulation. The final one uses electricity. The electrically powered structure refers to modern technology highlighting the deliberate imperfection in products giving them a shorter lifecycle. The deliberate imperfection is a component which purposely harms the product, shortly after the guarantee, to disrupt the whole operation of the machine. So we can observe the process of gradual degradation, giving rise to a new paradox, showing the importance of these works. From these primitive compositions we can use a traditional material (plaster) to transform them into static sculptures.
