Na dvorku ve vnitrobloku postává skupina lidí. Někteří se mezi sebou baví, jiní stojí o samotě a pomalu usrkávají červené a bílé víno z plastových kelímků. Další vcházejí do činžovního domu a zase z něj vycházejí v nepravidelných intervalech. Za vstupními dveřmi baráku je vchod do výstavního prostoru – takzvané galerie. Místnosti nejsou zařízené. Kromě návštěvníků zde nic není. Jen bílé zdi a šedivá podlaha. Všichni se znají, a tak si tykají. Občas někdo něco prohodí k ostatním. Nic závažného, pouze pokusy o navázaní komunikace. Na dvorku se objeví postarší muž, který svým chováním a zjevem neodpovídá zbytku skupinky. Přesto se dává do hovoru s několika členy společnosti. Ti ho trpělivě vyslechnou a následně odkáží na nedaleko postávající ženu s mužem. Jsou to provozovatelé galerie Gábina Kotíková a Dominik Lang. Muž je vyhledá a opakuje věty, které již před chvílí vyslovil. Gábina a Dominik ho vyslechnou a následně vyzvou muže, aby je následoval do výstavního prostoru. Muž jednotlivé místnosti nervózně proběhne, jako by něco hledal. Poté začne podrobně prozkoumávat celý prostor, což mu chvilku trvá. Jako poslední otevře dveře v pravém zadním rohu první místnosti. Za nimi je ukryt malý prostor se záchodem a zázemím výstavního prostoru. Muž do něho vstoupí a podrobně ohmatává všechny stěny. Následně se ještě jednou na něco zeptá. Dotázaní pouze zakroutí hlavou na znamení nesouhlasu. Muž chvilku otálí, neví, jestli má odejít. Nakonec se odhodlá a začne znovu mluvit. Postupně se obrací svou dikcí a gesty na celou společnost v galerii. Recituje nesrozumitelné věty a souvětí a poté pověsí na stěnu galerie potištěný papír formátu A4. Nakonec odchází.
- It is a provocation.00:00:17.222
- 00:00:17.222
- How is it possible!00:01:01.805
- 00:01:01.805
- Here is a room too, may I have a look?00:01:16.173
- 00:01:16.173
- Oh, it is a toilet.00:01:24.885
- 00:01:24.885
- It could be a safe.00:01:31.179
- 00:01:31.179
- Do you have just these rooms?00:01:37.737
- 00:01:37.737
- Yes, that is all.00:01:41.094
- 00:01:41.094
- To understand me, I am looking for a safe.00:01:46.500
- 00:01:46.500
- My mother used to work here for forty years.00:01:54.399
- 00:01:54.399
- I must switch off the light.00:02:00.483
- 00:02:00.483
- I used to play in the courtyard when I was small.00:02:02.742
- 00:02:02.742
- She has woken up now,00:02:07.171
- 00:02:07.171
- she´s reminded of her cup she left in the safe.00:02:09.520
- 00:02:09.520
- I promised her to find it.00:02:14.488
- 00:02:14.488
- So it seems it is not here.00:02:19.422
- 00:02:19.422
- Do you have a hammer or a chisel?00:02:22.085
- 00:02:22.085
- So I could cut it here through.00:02:24.704
- 00:02:24.704
- For sure, we have.00:02:30.171
- 00:02:30.171
- I have forgotten to tell you that I am also looking for my wife.00:02:37.542
- 00:02:37.542
- We came here by car, she has got lost, she always gets lost00:02:40.895
- 00:02:40.895
- when I am locking up the car door.00:02:44.600
- 00:02:44.600
- She is small. She has the keys of the safe.00:02:47.112
- 00:02:47.112
- Don´t you happen to see her? She is small, very small.00:02:57.203
- 00:02:57.203
- They don´t say anything.00:03:05.323
- 00:03:05.323
- What a miracle to see what it is not visible.00:03:09.960
- 00:03:09.960
- I am asking to persuade me.00:03:19.954
- 00:03:19.954
- I am asking to persuade me.00:03:21.501
- 00:03:21.501
- That it is being communicated and that it will be used.00:03:29.956
- 00:03:29.956
- But it is my own story, I am interested in.00:03:35.084
- 00:03:35.084
- I will verify it with my look.00:03:39.419
- 00:03:39.419
- The night is coming.00:03:48.035
- 00:03:48.035
- The new world is awaking.00:03:51.083
- 00:03:51.083
- Everything has gone through something.00:03:56.539
- 00:03:56.539
- I will hold it for you.00:04:17.138
- 00:04:17.138
- Thanks.00:04:18.657
- 00:04:18.657
- You are welcome.00:04:19.999
- 00:04:19.999
- I was offered to exhibit my final work00:05:57.640
- 00:05:57.640
- in 2012 at the end of my studies.00:06:03.359
- 00:06:03.359
- I decided it that the work is not meant for the gallery.00:06:07.442
- 00:06:07.442
- There was another option, I wanted to cooperate with somebody.00:06:12.130
- 00:06:12.130
- And I thought of Jirka.00:06:20.579
- 00:06:20.579
- I think we think the same way, our artworks are formally similar.00:06:22.963
- 00:06:22.963
- We decided to prepare a common project for the Gallery Jelení.00:06:26.299
- 00:06:26.299
- Our skype call on the theme of subjectivity was the most important one.00:06:30.817
- 00:06:30.817
- We spoke about subjectivity in art, in its radical state,00:06:39.616
- 00:06:39.616
- what it means, how to work with it...00:06:47.520
- 00:06:47.520
- we got to the themes such as absence and disappearance.00:06:52.293
- 00:06:52.293
- We wanted to explore the situation00:07:01.904
- 00:07:01.904
- when somebody from outside comes into the specific environment as the gallery00:07:09.673
- 00:07:09.673
- he comes into the artificial space from its own nature00:07:15.088
- 00:07:15.088
- and starts to usurp the space for him00:07:19.798
- 00:07:19.798
- using gestures and declamations.00:07:22.782
- 00:07:22.782
- We start to write a script which could be used here.00:07:28.464
- 00:07:28.464
- This gallery is visited most during the exhibition opening.00:07:38.241
- 00:07:38.241
- We worked with conformity of a gallery visitor.00:07:44.101
- 00:07:44.101
- The viewer is a kind of medium for us,00:07:48.342
- 00:07:48.342
- a substance we presumed and it works in a status quo.00:07:53.440
- 00:07:53.440
- I think the Gallery Jelení is specific for its spectrum of visitors.00:08:02.426
- 00:08:02.426
- Here is a text describing all the event.00:08:10.456
- 00:08:10.456
- It was our proposal of the ideal event which could arise.00:08:19.999
- 00:08:19.999
- In fact the situation really came truth.00:08:22.955
- 00:08:22.955
- Now we should look back whether it fulfilled our expectation.00:08:26.964
Hošánci mě se to vcelku líbilo, ale Váš komentář kde se neustále opakuje slovo „jakoby“ se k této práci nehodí.(vypadá to že mluvíte o něčem a jakoby nevíte o čem)
