Schwestern: Watchtower

Schwestern: Watchtower

Concept: Martina Freitagová 
Artists: schwestern (Iveta Šalamounová & Monika Cihlářová)  
Realization: Extended Production

A moment of rest through art. A unique site-specific installation in the Kunsthalle Praha Tower offers a space for audiovisual detox and relaxation after your gallery visit. Take a moment to reflect on everything you’ve seen—or simply let your mind unwind.

The architectural-artistic duo schwestern created the installation Rozhledna (Watchtower) especially for Kunsthalle Praha. The three highest windows in the former Zenger Transformer Station open up views into the heart of historic Klárov—framed on one side by Prague Castle and on the other by the iconic Letná escarpment.

Oversized window frames offer cosy seating, reminiscent of homely alcoves. At the heart of this meditative space is a spiral staircase that leads into an illuminated void.
