From the lecture cycle for the exhibition Taiga/ Petr Pokorný, SCREWING AS A METHOD OR A DRILL IS DRIVEN INTO THE MUD TO DRAW OUT THE SEDIMENTARY DEPOSITS

A method of the paleobotanic research, whose results have proven, for the area of Dokesko, a hypothesis based on biogeographic and geobotanic data (such as the presence of endemics and exclavic boreocontintental relicts). It appears that the region is an island of the taiga biome, pushed the southern- and westernmost from the area of European boreal forests. It is, simultaneously, an analogy of the boreocontinental taiga and a relict, continuously preserved, of the forests of the early Holocene.

They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…
