‘This whole project is pushing out of me from an absolute and urgent need to think about relationships, define them or point to them. It’s about making something palpable that I’ve been collecting for years—a physical confirmation of the existence of this network of relationships.’
For nine years Karina has been photographing an intimate circle, “in which I’m built in”—a scene, that in the meantime blew up into a Central European punk royalty waging a daily battle with the obvious. Here in the back, however, the stage doesn’t show, we stay far from the madding crowd. Firmly in the tradition of Magdalenes and Veronicas, Golisova, a former textiles student, brings her veils and ointments and prints into them, visualises her invisible female labour: caring for the battered warriors tilting at semantic windmills. Instead of the scream of modern man, she shows kindness, consideration, attention, healing. Instead of confrontation: empathy. Embraces, touches, cats, matching leopard outfits, and swathed buildings. Now dispersed between countries and tens and millions of streams, the scene still stands out for its solidarity and cohesion.
