plant
Magdalena Jetelová became famous for her large wooden sculptures of tables, chairs and stairs that she made from oak logs. New works are also created from other materials, for example concrete. For photographs in the 1990s, she installed very strong light sources that generated a bundled beam of light in deserted landscapes. The ray of light cuts through nature or projects quotations into it. Outside of the light beam, the black and white photographs remain very dark, but still reveal details of the surroundings. The artist also makes works on paper.
