HYB4 Galerie: Farewell to the exhibition Lucent Existence

A farewell to the exhibition Lucent Existence by Phila Primus. The closing reception will take place in Gallery D, starting at 7pm. Free entry.

„The house is one of the greatest forces that integrates human thoughts, memories, and dreams.“ Gaston Bachelard

Phila Primus (* 1991) is an artist and poet from a Czech – German – American family. Through her visual works, she conveys a sense of heightened consciousness, intertwined with biological, temporal, physical, social, linguistic, and symbolic orders. For her, the body and consciousness – the consciousness of the body – becomes a starting point for further visual exploration of the unconscious, both personal and social. Over the past decade, she exhibited her artworks in several Czech galleries. Her poetry has so far been published in the revue Babylon, Tvar and Nedělní chvilka poezie.

Man is thrown into the world, seeks his place in it, is intertwined with the world, mirrors himself in it, and is its mirror. Man gets to know himself in space, trying to anchor himself, find security, and make sense of all moments. He wants to stop the monstrous repetition of patterns and break free from the predetermination of being, to swim between the Scylla and the Charybdis of chaos and order. The perceiving person is shaped and formed under the excess of urgent perceptions into symbolic maps and panoramas. The body is a spiritual instrument, the senses and experiences are the means and the method for exploring spaces of freedom and determination. A turning point occurs in the oversaturation of all kinds of excitement and distraction. One must withdraw to one’s center, and escape (from?) time for the needs of dreaming and contemplation. From the labyrinth of the world to the paradise of the heart and to look out with love for the light of being in the darkness, enter it and shine. Being shines!
