I Infect Cities With CCTVs And Satellite Dishes

ADVERTISEMENT

My project is simply called “Nests” and mimic the random human activity in the urban landscape. I was inspired by the characteristics of several cities on my travels around the world where I often found different unplanned, almost organically placed, elements that interfere with the typical facades of the buildings in specific cities.

Through this project I wanted to point out the extent of these “infections” to show how disruptively absurd as well as interesting the urban space can become. I have been working on these nests since 2011, when I set up the first “Nest 01” in the city center of Prague. I installed it directly on the waterfront of the Vltava river while I was still studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.

I install all the Nests myself from a ladder or sometimes from a crane. All the Nests go by numbers and they usually occur on hot spots of contemporary public spaces.

I guess I'm not a fan. Taking a beautiful, natural scene and adding junk or a fantastic old building and putting our modern trash on it isn't creative to me. These objects are already on too many buildings now. Sorry
