The whole project is interested in the border of an urbanistic landscape, where the city meets the nature. It is using an artficial light (hand torch, car lights or a helicopter´s search light ) to enlight and discover a landscape. An artificial light paraphrases here not only quite invasive human activity, but also a searching human mind. Through giving an focused attention revaluates an relationship to this "normal" suburbian landscape and lifts up the landscape and its part into unique objects. The fundamental element here is a feeling - an emotion, which we get from some places minded to communicate with us.

Linda Čihařová has born on 2.7.1982 in Prague, where she is also living and working. She graduated at the University of Art, Archuitecture and design in Prague and also experienced studies on FAMU in Prague, University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and Academy Beeldene Kunste in Maastrichtu, Netherlands. Although Linda Čihařová is using different new media, her projects have base in land art and concept art. She is in a way an muliinstrumentalist of new media techniques, because she is formally not limited in means of expression. While working on her ideas, she is mostly using video, photography, drawing, painting, instalations, an interactivity with a viewer and their combinations. Unifying element and main inspiration source she almost always finds in landscape, nature and a point of reflection of a human energy on it. Recently she is focused on communication of humans and their surrounding. She is also inspired by scientifical methods, micro worlds and landscape deatils. By making the photography an abstract one, she gets into a inner world of landscape and creating a psychological portrait of the place. she finds creatures, stories and situations, which want to be made visible. The drawing is here an expression of a personal reading in particular place and the landscape an interactive personality.
