This was due to their sensitive composition, which consistently used the possibilities in the given space and employed the contrast between the surface conception of the external side of the window and the spatial installation in the window’s depth. This all led to the emphasis on the uniqueness of the works exhibited, which guarantees them real attention in perhaps the most effective way.
