Gridfall is a site-specific exhibition by Jakub Jansa and Pavla Malinová set in the Laichter House, a former publishing house built by Jan Kotěra between 1908 and 1910. Once a symbol of faith in modern architecture, culture, and society, it now forms the resonant body of the exhibition, reflecting not only historical memory but also the growing uncertainty about the direction the contemporary world is taking. The sensitive installation of the exhibition, which works with the concept and history of the Laichter House, allows us to perceive this multilayered place as a scenic field in which we can examine how our ability to orient ourselves in reality is changing as the original system and perception of time disintegrate and faith in building the future becomes part of the past.
