Meteorit Petr Zubek
Meteorit
My intention was to create an amorphous, organic object resembling a natural fragment that would, with its multifaceted, rugged surface correspond with the rugged facade of the Neo-Gothic Town Hall, before which it was placed. By installing various plastic materials and their intuitive shaping and layering, I tried to achieve the baroque richness of the morphology of the object, which would have to irritate the passers-by and attract them to closer observation, searching, finding and losing in these shapes and forms and opening possibilities to various associations , as we encounter in nature.
