Alena Matejka

She creates small sculptures which float on water, but also builds huge installations such as the one in the underground Baroque casemates in Vyšehrad.

Gorlice is a major installation in the underground hall in the old castle of Vyšehrad, consisting of a central colonnade of stone, with multiple stops, each with a different sculpture symbolising the choices one faces in life.

In 2007, she created a bath tub made out of a single block of red granite from Sweden, entitled I sink, therefore I am, a pun on René Descartes' statement, I think, therefore I am.

[4] She has been involved in several projects, often in collaboration with her husband Lars Widenfalk, a sculptor who works mainly with stone; usually marble and granite, but also with other materials such as glass.

Over the houses, hanging in the water, are small sculptures shaped like flowers, boats, doll heads and three hundred glass beads.

Lars Widenfalk chose a more concrete or archaeological approach, with its granite sculptures of humans with live fish in the water containers.
