"A critical contemplation on shallowness of passion and beauty as well as consumerist way of life becomes the central motive of the photographs by Katarína Támová and Eliška Kyselková. Series inspired by paintings of Monica Cook refers to the topic of consumerism in today's world. The theme of ancient bacchanalias is connected with allusion to baroque still life vanities, where the emptiness, ephemerality, destruction and death are the formal and ideological outcome. The photographs are kind of metaphor to the vices of modern society: alienated, narcissistic, without relationships or a real interest in life, longing only for material matters. Almost every picture hides the element of modern times and the emptiness hidden behind the artificial tinsel. The world on the edge of a possible form of destruction, decay or search for one's own identity."
