My goal was to create a spatial narrative that intricately connects my interest in disciplinary systems and their deep psychological and emotional implications. In my work, I focus on suggestive reconstructions and deconstructions of the ballet barre, referring to concepts of discipline and the evolving aesthetics of ballet in the digital space, while latently drawing subtle references from my own life experiences. The deliberate placement of three aluminum rods symbolizes the unrelenting pursuit of balance, reflecting the youthful flexibility of the dancers' bodies, and thus becomes a metaphor for the discipline of adolescent bodies, placing ballet as a symbol of high culture in dialogue with the undercurrents of toxicity that this discipline carries. The ballet hall installation itself becomes a stage for an exploration of contemporary cultural unrest, referencing themes of exhaustion, cuteness and discipline, while inviting an examination of self-colonization within Western internet discourse. <img width="3551" height="3551" width_o="3551" height_o="3551" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72f29a793cfc3e7dcea849a9bc7a0210b5a5c69800f17a045b8e59ca06055f7c/6EFC3038-B0FE-4D10-95DB-6BC79DADC259.JPG" data-mid="195735811" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72f29a793cfc3e7dcea849a9bc7a0210b5a5c69800f17a045b8e59ca06055f7c/6EFC3038-B0FE-4D10-95DB-6BC79DADC259.JPG" /><img width="4480" height="6720" width_o="4480" height_o="6720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b279855ff77b0a32209b6ce3ddccdc94cc170213b0d86eab920a76d2a0779eb/_12A0821.JPG" data-mid="195735817" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b279855ff77b0a32209b6ce3ddccdc94cc170213b0d86eab920a76d2a0779eb/_12A0821.JPG" /><img width="4216" height="4216" width_o="4216" height_o="4216" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17b36af6aad925958fc47c04a5e71883e13a32a0f0767792a547c4453f8744de/_12A0814.JPG" data-mid="195735814" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17b36af6aad925958fc47c04a5e71883e13a32a0f0767792a547c4453f8744de/_12A0814.JPG" /> https://marketaslana.cargo.site/FRISK Sat, 11 May 2024 15:06:14 +0000 marketaslana https://marketaslana.cargo.site/FRISK <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36bff5574c0e6bac3f4e4bb151252fb37727a9366c968160aa2c47def4b2d374/05---2024-04-28-FRISK.jpg" data-mid="210716242" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36bff5574c0e6bac3f4e4bb151252fb37727a9366c968160aa2c47def4b2d374/05---2024-04-28-FRISK.jpg" /> FRISK in collaboration with Layo Laurence Mussi PAF gallery, Olomouc <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f8adb3df2a43adb300d83efa4ca762622f5341a6fcd3e9c72b3cb907cb0093c/12---2024-04-28-FRISK.jpg" data-mid="210716288" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f8adb3df2a43adb300d83efa4ca762622f5341a6fcd3e9c72b3cb907cb0093c/12---2024-04-28-FRISK.jpg" /> https://marketaslana.cargo.site/Favu-bricks-nails Sat, 11 May 2024 14:33:50 +0000 marketaslana https://marketaslana.cargo.site/Favu-bricks-nails 222 Bricks &amp; 7000 Nails Zoom Bible Study Gallery Favu, 2024 <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e866285b57eaa2897d20bde72c1d37b6f61520f671b10d1c0d19b0251f025133/Zoombible_2048px_10.jpg" data-mid="210712104" border="0" data-scale="45" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e866285b57eaa2897d20bde72c1d37b6f61520f671b10d1c0d19b0251f025133/Zoombible_2048px_10.jpg" />. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43da1128b9c12aa5f3b634fb1ef0af205218907e66af2a075d29540fc7aa7dc9/Zoombible_2048px_11.jpg" data-mid="210712091" border="0" data-scale="45" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43da1128b9c12aa5f3b634fb1ef0af205218907e66af2a075d29540fc7aa7dc9/Zoombible_2048px_11.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a270c6aeef742126a9fefede05981011c88566fa1f6f0b5d463ed7873100b57d/Zoombible_2048px_5.jpg" data-mid="210712082" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a270c6aeef742126a9fefede05981011c88566fa1f6f0b5d463ed7873100b57d/Zoombible_2048px_5.jpg" /> https://marketaslana.cargo.site/i-see-everyone Sun, 15 Oct 2023 09:42:18 +0000 marketaslana https://marketaslana.cargo.site/i-see-everyone I SEE EVERYONE GETTING ALL THE THINGS&nbsp; I WANT, 2021 <img width="6000" height="3358" width_o="6000" height_o="3358" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/437b9ea4248d68908a0c781da1d556d4b02025f58fac3af13134e3a95b667226/09_Balbercakova-Slana_I-see-everyone-getting-all-the-things-I-want_2021_Denis-Kozerawski.jpg" data-mid="193760623" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/437b9ea4248d68908a0c781da1d556d4b02025f58fac3af13134e3a95b667226/09_Balbercakova-Slana_I-see-everyone-getting-all-the-things-I-want_2021_Denis-Kozerawski.jpg" /> https://marketaslana.cargo.site/I-see-everyone-2 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 09:42:18 +0000 marketaslana https://marketaslana.cargo.site/I-see-everyone-2 The performance I See Everyone Getting All the Things I Want (2021), directed by Nikola Balberčáková and Markéta Slaná, transformed a private apartment in Bratislava into a space for a collective experience of live acts resembling YouTube beauty and lifestyle vlogs as well as other internet content for the duration of one evening. The fragments of the performance consisted of different activities inspired by influencer culture and different ways of sharing texts from personal diaries and academic texts by using reading groups techniques. Through dancing challenges, positive affirmations, TikTok trends, YouTube tutorials, karaoke singing and other interactions with the audience, the experience blurred the borders between irony and vulnerability, and created a pink-hued dream-like atmosphere. By combining different contents into at times unusual and hectic performance narrative, the project captures the ways we receive information while scrolling through social media networks and reflects an emotional landscape of a younger generation by presenting themes of commodified self-care, feminism and queerness, identity crisis and the concept of “New Sincerity”. <img width="2062" height="1170" width_o="2062" height_o="1170" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c9d7ddd044b070be9c7dd864828d046e1c0444b0af15040d1c54196cd399358/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v16.23.14.png" data-mid="193763191" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c9d7ddd044b070be9c7dd864828d046e1c0444b0af15040d1c54196cd399358/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v16.23.14.png" /> <img width="2636" height="1478" width_o="2636" height_o="1478" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9007401a0e82cb5cacd0be08678b5be29059537042d6c8a1a9c3970781739089/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v15.28.44.png" data-mid="193760877" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9007401a0e82cb5cacd0be08678b5be29059537042d6c8a1a9c3970781739089/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v15.28.44.png" /> <img width="2096" height="1172" width_o="2096" height_o="1172" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc46b5daa23a751d0355849d55542114e475c82dcd0e92badda5805f7f51e8e4/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v15.31.50.png" data-mid="193761119" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc46b5daa23a751d0355849d55542114e475c82dcd0e92badda5805f7f51e8e4/Snimek-obrazovky-2023-10-15-v15.31.50.png" />
