Lenka L. Lukačovičová presents her most extensive project, »Lonely Planet Trnávka«, at the Lonely Planet exhibition. She does not limit her territory, she passes through her own space. She observes it and finds in it transformations, (inter)spaces, public spaces, unexpected situations. Places that are not coherent and monotonous, but are organized and chaotic at the same time.
Photographs by Lenka are images of the peripheral places of the country and the city, focused beyond the seen reality. She is idealistic, perhaps even romantic, believing that the spirit of a place so often mentioned and evoked is not only given by the attractiveness or uniqueness of the environment. Because even though it is bound to a physical place, it is formed in our perception.
