“The work comprises two high walls; twigs are attached to one of them and kitchen knives are stuck into the second one. A spectator, who has to pass the corridor between the two walls, must face a very suggestive situation of constraint, threat or aggressiveness. This art work stands at the author’s step-out to the installations and settings where she used natural materials. Such creation of corridors and passages culminates in her works Stena a Labyrint /Wall and Labyrinth/ (Synagogue of GJK Trnava 1996, sandbags, 60 tons).” [www.gjk.sk]
