EPO1 - Elektrárenská 322

Eva Damborská’s exhibition presents a selection of her lifelong work, whose subtle objects and installations combine delicacy, craft precision and deep female experience. The artist works with fibre as an artistic and existential medium through which she uses the theme of silence, care, memory and the cyclical power of life. She draws inspiration from nature, from the rhythms of growth and decay, from organic structures and forms such as spider webs, nests and cocoons. The installation created for the industrial space of the Turbine Hall in EPO1 contrasts fragile materials and massive architecture. Damborská uses fabric, thread, paper, wire and cellophane, which she layers, embroiders, combines and composes into visual scores of silence and concentration. Her work bears traces of contemplation, care, and meditative repetition, in which there is a quiet power. The exhibition highlights the paradox of threads –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ they are almost invisible, yet hold shape, connect, protect. This delicate medium mirrors the feminine principle, whose resilience comes from empathy, perseverance and the capacity for transformation. Each piece is a unique synthesis of sensitivity and artistic courage. The exhibition encourages the appreciation of subtleties that often remain hidden and reminds us that the quietest can be the strongest.
