    Black and white compositions nr. 1-4 | 2014

For Czech section of 4th Moscow Biennale of Young Art curated by Václav Janoščík I have extended my project B/W into new spatial compositions. Still working with fully exposed, black photography with its empty but literally reflective surface I aimed at creating secondary pictocriality based on composition with a reference to corporate and logotype like aesthetics. The concept of the exhibition under the title Peripheral Vision was precisely to show return to the visual and aesthetic within post conceptual art.
