JAROMÍR NOVOTNÝ AND MICHAL BUDNY
Named after a magical flower from Slavic and Baltic mythology that is said to bloom for one night only before the summer solstice, Kapradinový květ (Fern Flower) is a 2015 installation by artists Jaromír Novotný and Michal Budny at PLATO gallery in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Featuring a series of concrete pillars wrapped in hand-painted paper, the installation examines concepts of illusion, perception and the temporary nature of art.
