The composition entitled Under the Tulps' Sky, exhibited in the Roman church space of the Kiscelli Museum, forms an ensemble with work Denaturated. The object that looks like a spacesuit "cut in half" (thus evoking a human figure), made with a basket weaving technique from transparent plastic tubing, is placed on a tile floor and is illuminated with a spotlight. The trunk cut in half and the endings of the limbs are sealed with rectangular glass sheets that are adjusted to the body with metallic reinforcements and pastry-insulation. At the bottom opening of the upper part of the trunk, a preserved white mouse is found.
