Guided Tour: Phila Primus: Nearness, Elsewhere

The exhibition Nearness, Elsewhere emerges from a line that loosens itself from drawing and takes on the role of structure. Layered shapes fold and reconnect without a fixed center, guided by their own internal logic. The whole establishes itself as a continuous arrangement in which perception moves between the physical and the visual.

In Phila Primus's works, the body appears in outline, section, layer, and empty space. The human figure alternates with organic shapes reminiscent of maps, inner landscapes, or records of movement - traces of physical and mental experience in which body awareness becomes the starting point for further inquiry. Transparency, overlapping, and subtle color accents shift the image between lightness and construction. The line here does not describe a finished form, but guides its transformation - it separates, connects, and loses itself again.

Phila Primus (born 1991) is a multimedia artist and poet of Czech-German-American origin. In her work she combines painting, photography, and found materials - layered patterns on transparent films combined with glass, paper, light, and sound. She has exhibited in galleries including Caesar, A (VOID), and HYB4, where she has had a studio since June 2026, and has participated in festivals 4+4 Days in Motion and Re-Connect Art. In September of this year, her monographic publication will be released by KANT publishing house, covering her work from 2013 to the present.
