Kristina Láníková is a visual artist and poet whose work explores intimate experiences related to physicality, fragility, threats to civilization, and the difficult search for points of communication in the relentless flow of today's media-saturated world. For Gallery 2 of the House of Arts in Ústí nad Labem, she has prepared a project with the working title FRAGMENTARY TREATMENT, in which she addresses the phenomenon of vulnerability and captures the physical experience of "healing" through fragmentary representation with a limited number of motifs and materials. These motifs include, for example, the outlines of bandages or medicine packaging, skin scraps and their outlines, imprints of medicine blister packs, small medical and office supplies, sticky notes, and more. The author also draws on personal experience, which she approaches with distance, as an archive that she organizes through selection, variation, and work in series.

The exhibition connects two long-term projects developed by Kristina Láníková. One is the documentary video Tracing Skin Scraps II, which follows up on the video presented at the exhibition Through Vulnerability I Can Get Closer to Others, which the author prepared in 2025 in collaboration with Marianna Placáková for the AVU Gallery. The aforementioned video was a recording of an activity—a static shot in which the author's hands trace individual pieces of flesh-colored skin onto a white sheet of paper. In the newly prepared follow-up video, Kristina Láníková records the same activity, using pieces of white skin. She traces the scraps, which refer to hospitals and the demands placed on our bodies, in a similar way to the previous video. The videos will complement each other in their focus on detail – the activity of tracing skin scraps in various contexts.
