Veronika Psotková’s figurative sculptures, crafted from metallic wire mesh, appear weightless and translucent. They interact with light and give the impression of drawings floating in mid-air.

In the historical setting of Santa Maria della Visitazione, her hand-shaped figures seamlessly merge historical architecture with contemporary sculpture, exploring how the online environment influences our perception of reality and human existence.

As visitors step into the nave of Santa Maria della Visitazione, they will be met with a breathtaking sight: a suspended loop of over thirty figures and torsos, some towering up to three meters high. "I work with both natural and artificial light inside the church. The light, along with the viewing angle, constantly changes the perception of the sculptures. Sometimes they almost vanish, other times they stand out in full force. It's not just about their physical presence, but about their dialogue with the space around them. I see them as an organic part of the church," the artist says. Psotková has invented and mastered a unique technique of hand-sewing metallic wire mesh to create her figures. This process requires both spatial and composition awareness, and meticulous craftsmanship; these are an integral part of her artistic expression.

Veronika Psotková's installation PERPETUO builds on the historical tradition of sculpture as an integral element of architecture. Designed to harmonize with its surroundings, it feels as if it has always belonged to the architecture of the church. "PERPETUO co-creates the architecture of the interior, anticipating the interaction with visitors and offering different possibilities of its perception. Visitors can walk through it like a gateway, yet its floor plan shape, resembling an open-ended figure eight, invites them to complete the loop with their own body, becoming part of its dynamic flow," points out exhibition curator Robert Janás.
