Micikova inspired by the burned out floor of the AQB building, based her work on developing
her collages and installations around and with the ancient Japanese exterior decoration
technique Shou sugi ban. In her maps and models, she leaves the technique of 'tiling' with
charred wood by letting it in its initial stage. What was originally meant to be outside in her
landscapes stays inside. Zabkova follows Micikova ́s temporary architectures and imaginary
spaces by placing a performer as if directly into them. She choreographs the installation of
several videopeformances where she reference a space that was created by burning out the
inside of a giant sequoia, a space once used by the Native Americans as a dwelling.
