The Chamber of Transformation

The Rodina (Tereza and Vit Ruller) is a critical design studio with an experimental approach shaped by art and performance. Both in commissioned works and autonomous projects, The Rodina reinterprets a dazzling spectrum of multi-layered meanings far beyond the surface of design. The duo is interested in the interplay of culture, technology and aesthetics.
