My Body is not an Island
Taking its cue from surrealist poetry, theatrical devices, psychoanalysis, and certain forms of experimental education, Koťátková’s work develops in  tight connection with narrativity – a narration in fragments, scattered across the exhibition like so many hints to decipher; a narration that refers to dreams and the unconscious as powerful conduits for creative energy.
My Body is not an Island expands and elaborates upon issues that have been present in the artist’s work for many years. This project, specially conceived to be shown in the nave at the Capc, is shaped like a gigantic body, half-fish, half-human; it both contains and mediates for a myriad of stories, whose entrancing litany will echo throughout the whole exhibition space.Â
