Floralis Temple výstava 6. 2.–16.3. 2025, The Design Gallery 

Curator: Romana Drdová

The exhibition Floralis Temple presented light installations by Jasna (Michaela Doležalová), whose work focuses on interior lighting made from handmade paper. Her practice connects natural materials with technological innovation and environmental awareness. Paper functions not only as a medium for light, but also as a carrier of narrative and material memory.

Inspiration is found not only in nature itself, but also in places where flowers lose their original value — florists’ leftovers, cemeteries, or seasonal remains such as discarded Christmas trees. This gathering has become a continuous practice that links natural cycles with processes of reuse and transformation.

 

 

Michaela describes herself as a contemporary gatherer. She searches suburban areas and carefully selects discarded or unwanted plant material — floral waste, seasonal remains, or abandoned bouquets. This approach reflects a response to consumer culture, demonstrating that creativity and sustainability can coexist through attentive material work.


This approach carries particular relevance within today’s consumer-driven society, constantly oriented toward new products and technologies. Through gathering and reusing natural materials, Michaela demonstrates that creative practice can operate within cycles of reuse rather than excess. Her work invites reflection on the latent value embedded in materials that are often overlooked or considered expendable.

 

The exhibition also introduced Jasna Studio’s ongoing development of custom 3D-printed tools for handmade paper production. The project bridges traditional craft techniques with contemporary technology, demonstrating how innovation can actively support sustainable design practices.

Nejsem robot výstava 4. 4–28. 9. 2025, Galerie Atrium Žižkov

Curator: Ondřej Horák (Fuczik)

This exhibition explored the theme of human creativity as a force without limits.



 

Instead of building greenhouses from jars or lawnmowers powered by washing machine motors, we now assemble 3D printers and construct drones at home. Human creativity has no boundaries, and nothing can replace it. The assumption that in today’s consumer culture and convenience-driven technologies we could function without it is misguided — in fact, the opposite is true.




Machine knitting and paper folding výstava 18.12. 2024–1.3. 2025, Galerie Tempo, Petrohradská kolektiv 

kurátorka: Jůliána Chomová 

The exhibition presented light installations made from handmade paper by Michaela of Jasna Studio, created in dialogue with knitted textile objects by artist Bronislava Orlická. The installation brought together the softness of light and the structured surface of machine knitting into a unified composition.

 

The relationship between light and textile also appears in Michaela’s long-term collaboration with Zuzana Smrkovská within the project Svitna, whose light objects were exhibited at Tempo.
