Award

Annotation

Life of painter Frida Kahlo in one object. Two masses, two personalities. Wife Frida – artist Frida. Imprisoned – liberated. Complicated private life between two walls and artistic soul freeing itself in the atelier. Big solitaire mass for private living for Frida, her husband and guests. Smaller light mass for atelier. The two masses are connected by bridge going through the whole object and connects it to the gallery of artists – volunteer prisoners from Štvanice.
