AiR 2025 / Mia Milgrom

"During my residency in Pardubice, I am exploring the Chrudimka River and the surrounding river landscape. Through research and a site-specific installation, I engage with the themes of instability and pollution. I ask myself questions about examining the place from different perspectives – from the riverbank, from the riverbed, from the railway bridge. The conceptual and practical preparation of a sculpture placed in the river follows the changing water level, with the installation gradually revealing itself or, conversely, becoming partially submerged. Through material choices, I reference both traditional techniques of water impregnation and purification, as well as human infrastructures and transience."

The OFFCITY AiR 2025 residency project is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the city of Pardubice. Thank you!
