Fotografka a vizuální umělkyně – ve své fotografické tvorbě dlouhodobě reflektuji současnou podobou českých i zahraničních měst, jejich bezprostředního okolí a uspořádání. Různorodé situace a především negativní jevy ve veřejném prostoru se tak často stávají výchozím bodem mých fotografických souborů. Často také alternativně zobrazuji zprofanované turistické destinace a zamýšlím se nad prezentací jakési nadreality turisticky vyhledávaných míst a dopady overturismu obecně.
Photographer and visual artist – in my photographic work I have long reflected on the contemporary appearance of Czech and foreign cities, their immediate surroundings and layout. Diverse situations and especially negative phenomena in public space often become the starting point of my photographic series. I also often present alternative images of infamous tourist destinations and reflect on the presentation of a kind of surreality of touristic places and the effects of overtourism in general.
Kurátorka v Galerii Fotografic – zaměřuji se na současnou fotografii převážně střední Evropy
Curator at Galerie Fotografic – I focus on contemporary photography, mainly in Central Europe
Sloupkařka pro časopis Host – píši pravidelné sloupky o současném umění pro časopis Host
Columnist for Host magazine – I write regular columns on contemporary art for Host magazine
