Ilková’s projects focus on capturing the interplay between human activity and natural or abandoned spaces. Notable works include:

• Airport (2016–2018): Examines the rural airport in Malé Bielice as a site of cultural convergence and multidimensional movement.
• Around the River (2016–2018): Documents the latent peripheries along the Danube River in Bratislava, exploring entropy, human traces, and ecological reclamation.

Her artistic practice integrates themes of memory, urban fragmentation, and societal interaction with physical spaces.
