The exhibition Roman Ondak, Infinitum explores the contrast between fiction and reality, with a focus on the impact of realism and fantasy on human perception. It features sculptures, installations and photos that pay tribute to the magic of everyday things. The exhibition plays with the line between fiction and reality. The ready-made or constructed objects and situations are depicted as a part of reality and contrasted with subtly fictionalized forms.
Roman Ondak’s work brings together various methodologies, from simply-formulated situations in which he examine relationships between members of his family, various groups of people or spectators entering his exhibitions, to modified found objects or constructed spatial installations. Space and time are often systematically thematized in his works and intertwined with his personal history, bearing fragments of his memories of the years he spent as a child and teenager in relatively isolated Czechoslovakia during the autocratic communist regime.
The exhibition opens on May 12th, 2023, and runs through November 22nd.
