Lucia Luptáková has received a development grant for the  project In Seclusion. Contemporary hide-outs.

Lucia investigates and maps a phenomenon of the corona era. Her project provides a glimpse into the private domain, in which admiration for the human ability to creatively deal with limited space is central. She is fascinated by the improvised hideaways that people have arranged in lockdown homes out of the need for a place of their own. Due to the shared vulnerability and the similarities in everyone’s search for comfort and security, the project appeals to a sense of togetherness and bridges the current forced distance.
