Awarded at: Talente 2022. Masters of the Future
The flat, simple brooches from the series “Tool Spirit” look vaguely familiar. They are rectangular, triangular, tapered to a point, slender, widening towards the middle, and connected by the rectangular or rounded opening in the middle. On closer inspection, they are reminiscent of the cross-section of tools, and in fact, they are thin slices of hammers and axes that Pavlína Končická found in the junkyard. Processing transforms both their form and their function, giving them a new life, while at the same time remaining a symbol of their previous, original purpose. With these brooches, Pavlína Končická wants to remind of the importance of tools for human development. The shape of the brooches still contains information about their original size and purpose, about the hard work that was done with them. They should be understood as an appreciation of these everyday objects and as thanks.
