Miloslav Fekar: Crystal

Plasy Monastery

The residency in Plasy allowed me to perceive and study the genius of architect Jan Blazej Santini-Aichel. The area in Plasy and other architect's nearby buildings were a powerful source of inspiration.
At the residence I created a large crystal, which was created as a penetration of the granary floors. His perception was enhanced by moving up the stairs. The crystal grew through three floors and accentuated this architecture.
