Jana Kasalová | Before I disappear somewhere in the streets
Music Theatre
The author has been involved in the interpretation of maps and landscapes. The latest project is working with the city landscape of global metropolises. Font and language are an important part of this experiment. It focuses on the names on the map as a concept that is easily changeable, destructible and is the holder of a long memory space.
Jana Kasalová, PhD. studied painting with Professor Jiří Načeradský at FaVU in Brno. She did postgraduate studies in art and art therapy at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid and in Cuenca.
