Petr Stibral is interested in the possibilities of sculptural interventions in specific urban and natural spaces. These can be visual metaphors of a poetic nature, but in recent years he has focused more on themes with a strong social content. For his current installation, he has chosen a park between the Prague-Vršovice railway station and a nearby tram stop. He has created an archetype of a simple wooden hut with the silhouette of a mature tree as a monument to the disappearing phenomenon of garden settlements. These have existed in Prague since the late 19th century, and undoubtedly add to the diversity of the urban organism. Not far from the Vršovice railway station, towards Bohdalec hill, are the former shanty settlements of Sedmidomky and Slatiny, now functioning as garden colonies, places where the homeless live, but also homes for the descendants of the original inhabitants from the 1920s and 1930s. Both sites have a unique historical/environmental value. The recent decision to upgrade the Slatiny area has introduced the risk of the permanent loss of yet another green space within the metropolitan area. Although such “wild” areas can be accommodated inventively as part of modernisation, they usually disappear irretrievably due to the developers’ desire to maximise the number of office buildings and the number of so-called residents. Petr Stibral’s monument is also his general comment on the concept of metropolitan space – he does not support its perception as a source of profit but rather honours the “right to the city” of those who live in it (Petr Gibas; he has long been focusing on the topic of garden settlements in Prague).
