The project\u2019s title derives from the deconstruction of a traditional English wedding poem (\u201eSomething old, something new, something borrowed, something blue\u2026\u201c), which ritually accompanies the bride as she enters a new life phase. The author translates this metaphor into the transformation of the designer\u2019s identity in times of environmental and social crises. She abandons the illusion of linear progress, technocratic overlays, and dehumanizing machinery. She leaves behind the trio of \u201eold, borrowed, and blue\u201c and complements it with a new, sixth element \u2013 Something True \u2013 something real and lived-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immersive installation combines cold 3D printing with the subtlest glimmer of humanity: breath. The act of exhalation brings life to matter, disrupting the cold productivity of technology and opening up a new sensitivity. In the spirit of new materialism, the work questions the dominant position of man and, instead of the role of the dominant \u201eproblem solver,\u201c offers a vulnerable guide who seeks a dialogue based on the autonomy of objects and the responsiveness of material. The atmosphere is complemented by an original video with a synchronized ambient sound track that connects the mechanical pulse with the rhythm of breath and draws the viewer into their own catharsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petra Ryb\u00e1nska: Something New, Something True, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s title draws upon the deconstruction of the traditional English wedding rhyme (\u201eSomething old, something new, something borrowed, something blue\u2026\u201c), which ritually accompanies a bride as she transitions into a new stage of life. The artist transposes this metaphor onto the transformation of the designer\u2019s identity amidst environmental and social crises. She abandons the illusion of linear progress, technocratic accretions, and dehumanizing machinery. Leaving behind the trio of \u201eold, borrowed, and blue,\u201c she introduces a new, sixth element\u2014 \u201eSomething True\u201c\u2014representing something authentic and lived-through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immersive installation fuses cold 3D printing with the most subtle spark of humanity: breath. The act of exhaling animates matter, disrupts the cold productivity of technology, and opens up a new sensibility. In the spirit of new materialism, the work challenges humanity\u2019s position of superiority; rather than the role of a dominant \u201eproblem solver,\u201c it offers the figure of a vulnerable companion seeking a dialogue grounded in the autonomy of objects and the responsiveness of material. The atmosphere is completed by an author\u2019s video with a synchronous ambient soundtrack that combines a mechanical pulse with the rhythm of breathing and draws the viewer into their own catharsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
