The “CALIBRATION” exhibition is largely a premiere composition and a retrospective presentation of a multi-element installation. The works presented at the “CALIBRATION” exhibition are part of the extensive series “HOMO-HOMINI” – (mater mundi+calibration+battlefield), which is defined by the antithesis of fragility, careful contact with the depositories of the past and metaphorical sculptural matter – glass, metal, stone, wood, slate, multimedia projection. A few works have already been presented at several exhibitions in recent years, usually showing the fragility of human fate, man’s fears and hopes, in a timeless and universal way.
