Ľudmila Horňáková (SK)

Ľudmila Horňáková usually draw her topics of interest from social space, conflicts and global problems. She tries to find a different attitude or a position which is less obvious and predictable.

“I try to put myself in a critical position without including my subjectivity. In general, I am going to work with slow impending disaster and weather which are an extremely strong topic that forces everybody to react on it because anyone can encounter such dramatic situation. A piece of art could more or less emerge from collaboration with inhabitants because of my social skills and my ability to speak in Russian as well. The key question of the project I want to realize in Kharkov deals with the feeling of threat of one’s own existence and the possibility of losing security. Project can collaborate with two nationalities, and their habits which are produced by the social and political situation.”

From the beginning of May until the end of June, Ľudmia Horňáková lived and worked in Kharkov. This residfency was part of our cooperation with Kharkov City Art Gallery.
