Jindra Viková (1946) is an intermedia artist who has been influencing the Czech art scene for more than fifty years. Her work transcends the boundaries of traditional media and enters a space where ceramics become the bearer of existential stories, intimate gestures, and archetypal symbols. The exhibition She Who Wears Many Faces presents a collection of works in which the author explores the mutability of human identity—its masks, facades, and moments when it reveals itself and becomes vulnerable.

The body and face, two fundamental elements of Vika’s work, appear here in constant metamorphosis. The mask becomes a mediator of transformation: it allows us to forget our own boundaries and lets inhibitions disappear. Sculptural objects made of ceramics, paper, and combined materials tell the story of the female figure as the bearer of many roles—daughter, lover, mother, artist, storyteller. Viková does not shy away from ambivalence. The gentle poetics of her works often clash with irony and darker undertones.

The title of the exhibition refers to mythological and ritual contexts in which the face and mask become instruments of transformation. Viková reflects on this transformation on both a personal and universal level: faces become mirrors that reflect emotions, desires, and insecurities. The exhibition She Who Wears Many Faces is thus not only a retrospective look at the work of one of the most prominent Czech artists, but also a meditation on identity, femininity, and the fragility of human existence. In the space of THE DESIGN gallery, Jindra Viková’s works are transformed into an intimate scenography where collective memory meets physical presence and where each face carries its own shadow.
