Fracture of the Sun
The installation Fracture of the Sun reflects on the author's lived experience with queer adolescence and reconciling with past traumatic experiences. The work tells a story about queer shame, isolation, and escapism. The work presents fragments of a personal archive and detailed craftwork with diverse materials. Kubeš works with various photo printing techniques on textiles and leather and hand embroidery, which, in object and costume elements, evoke the feeling of loss, wear and tear and temporality. The metal structure symbolizing the wardrobe serves as a metaphor for hiding and preserving memories.
Ondřej Kubeš was nominated to Futures Talents by Fotograf Zone in 2026.
Co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union, FUTURES is a platform to increase the capacity, mobility and visibility of it's selected artists and to bridge the gap between emerging and established artists.

Portfolio review: how to make the most of 20 minutes
What is a portfolio review, really? It’s a meeting that often lasts no more than twenty minutes. For some, it’s an unusual format — something between a professional consultation and a kind of informal speed dating. On one side are artists, on the other are professionals from the field: curators, editors, gallerists, offering their attention, experience, and above all, feedback. So how can you make the most of those twenty minutes?

Martin Newth – Event Horizons: A Return Without Place
Martin Newth approaches landscape as an image of a return to a place that does not exist. By photographing scenery from digital game worlds using analogue processes, he foregrounds the mediated nature of experience. This return to materiality is not a step backwards, but a way of using photography to expose the underlying conditions of our relationship to reality.
