This exhibition showcases Czech sculptor Vladimír Škoda's works, inspired by astronomer Johannes Kepler's 'Mysterium Cosmograficum'. The exhibition explores different interpretations of the universe through themes of Giordano Bruno's immeasurable cosmos, Luca Pacioli's divine proportion, and Nikola Tesla's vibrating energy.
This exhibition features the work of Czech sculptor Vladimír Škoda, who resides in France. Titled 'Mysterium Cosmograficum – Johanes Kepler', it draws inspiration from the astronomer Johannes Kepler's seminal work calculating the mysteries of the universe. A concurrent exhibition at Trója Château, 'Harmonices Mundi', explores 'The Harmony of the World'. The exhibition is structured around three core interpretations of the universe: the immeasurable and unending cosmos of Giordano Bruno, the divine proportion and Golden Ratio of Luca Pacioli, and the concept of frequency and vibrating energy as explored by Nikola Tesla. Škoda, who trained as a blacksmith, began his artistic journey by forging a 'Golem's clothes' and developed an interest in meteoric shapes, eventually focusing on the sphere as a perfect form representing the universe, individual bodies, and Plato’s ideal body. His later works explore concepts like pendulums, balance, spirals, and globes, with a particular focus on vibrating, rotating, or concave mirrors, which can act as gateways to other dimensions or create illusionary spaces.
