Pavla Baštanová : Olívie

Description

What happens when Olívie leaves her book to land directly in the exhibition? Olívie makes her appearance! The illustrator and artist from Olomouc, Pavla Baštanová, and her partner, scenographer Hynek Petrželka, transpose the universe of the little girl and her grandfather, taken from J. A. Pitínský's children's book, into a spatial installation filled with flying fish, colors, sounds, and unexpected details. In 2026, the book won the Golden Ribbon in the children's fiction category. Pavla Baštanová is an animator, illustrator, and educator from Olomouc. She earned a bachelor's degree in animation from Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín, followed by a master's in graphics for television and cinema at UMPRUM in Prague. She is dedicated to creating auteur short films; among her most well-known works are *Mezi stromy* (2015), *Neumím plavat* (2015), *Mukumů* (2017), and *About a Cow* (2023), which was notably presented at the Locarno International Film Festival. She illustrated the children's book *Mukumú* (2020), inspired by the film of the same name. Her work is characterized by a sensitive depiction of nature, animals, and subtle emotions, combining traditional graphic techniques with animation, drawing, collage, and digital processing in 2D. The opening will take place as part of the program of the 12th edition of the LITR book fair, held from September 18 to 20 in Olomouc. Our partners: LITR, the Ministry of Culture, the city of Olomouc, the Olomouc region, the National Culture Fund.
