For the exhibition Elements: Unique Details of the 20th Century Architecture and Interior, architecture historian and researcher Adam Štěch has selected thousands of his own photographs presenting them as an atlas of the architectural and interior details that were created by architects and designers as part of the overall artistic concepts of building designs. The ultimate selection of lighting, seating, storage spaces, tables, railings, doors, handles, windows, floors, walls and other decorative or functional elements celebrate the modernist idea of the total work of art, the so-called Gesamtkunstwerk, and tell stories about the versatile skills of modernist architects from Art Nouveau to Modernism and beyond. The ambition of this project is to create the biggest database of one-of-a-kind designs from specific buildings and interiors captured by a single person and survey never before seen chapter in the history of applied art.
