    Hlava a pata / Head and heel | 2018

H2 is starting off its first gallery season with the exhibition Hlava a pata (Head and heel) of artists Barbora Fastrová and Johana Pošová. The graduates of the studio of photography at Prague’s UMPRUM present the result of their longstanding work with object creation. The topic of the exhibition refers to the play on words commonly used in the criteria of thoroughness for academic assignments - the Czech expression that a work must have “a head and a heel” is equivalent to the “from top to bottom” idiom. The installation presents the personification of wordplay in a physical form, linking to the artists’ previous work.
