‘Begone Estrone’ is a collaborative exhibition that brings together practices of two artists Paula Gogola and Natália Sýkorová, whose work intersects at the convergence of personal identity, technological landscapes of female bodies, both of which they explore through the perspective of female health and care. The exhibition coalesces their individual critical practices into a meticulously constructed environment activated through Adam Rýznar’s exhibition design and Johannes Tröstler’s sound compositions. 



At the core of this exhibition is an inquiry into the bathroom as a heterotopic space, a site where the intersection of public and private, the ritual and the mundane, purity and contamination. The artists collectively transform this banal, often overlooked site into a complex topography of power, identity, and survival. The simulacrum presented here functions as a critical rearticulation of the space—one that foregrounds the socio-political anxieties embedded within its very materiality. The bathroom, reimagined as a site of liminality, encapsulates the tension between a sanctuary and a space of profound vulnerability. Here, the bathroom becomes a stage for a tension-filled narrative, where ritual, angels, estrogen injections, alchemy, urban decay and their aesthetic become a potent symbol of broader societal issues, particularly those surrounding gender, identity, and the body.
