Annotation

The exhibition is dedicated to Petržalka, its landscape, and past memories, both fresh and dusty. How do the places where we temporarily take root get under our skin? What if they change despite our expectations of them? And what if, most of all, we are the ones who have changed? Paulína is interested in these ambivalent feelings—familiarity and estrangement, affection and distance, the disappeared and deeply embedded—that mix and layer within us, creating a personal image of the place that we carry with us and constantly rewrite.
