• When one thinks about what sculpture is,00:00:14.185
• 00:00:14.185
• there are of course a number of ways00:00:17.421
• 00:00:17.421
• of how to look at it, but for me it is simply00:00:20.769
• 00:00:20.769
• work with material in space and time.00:00:23.570
• 00:00:23.570
• So I guess I can say: That's me.00:00:28.842
• 00:00:28.842
• That I am a sculptress.00:00:34.758
• 00:00:34.758
• The fact that it is for an exhibition00:00:44.431
• 00:00:44.431
• is not so different for me, it is a form of presentation.00:00:50.406
• 00:00:50.406
• One has these things, or thoughts, or interests, in one's head,00:00:57.230
• 00:00:57.230
• but to give them some finished shape00:01:09.025
• 00:01:09.025
• that is comprehensible, or interesting,00:01:12.721
• 00:01:12.721
• requires a sacrifice or engagement.00:01:16.142
• 00:01:16.142
• Without having a deadline00:01:21.151
• 00:01:21.151
• it is more difficult to complete.00:01:26.178
• 00:01:26.178
• My work is based on residual radiation00:01:37.948
• 00:01:37.948
• emitted some 380,000 years after the Big Bang.00:01:42.161
• 00:01:42.161
• I worked in co-operation with a scientist,00:01:46.561
• 00:01:46.561
• astrophysicist Mr. Jungwirth from the Astronomical Institute00:01:52.141
• 00:01:52.141
• of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.00:01:54.930
• 00:01:54.930
• If we imagine the universe after the Big Bang,00:01:59.110
• 00:01:59.110
• there was this hot matter, plasma, and the universe00:02:02.468
• 00:02:02.468
• was shrouded in a kind of fog.00:02:05.693
• 00:02:05.693
• When the matter cooled down00:02:08.630
• 00:02:08.630
• 00:02:08.630
• the first atoms emerged and, simultaneously,00:02:13.898
• 00:02:13.898
• as atoms are neutral, photons were liberated, set free.00:02:18.831
• 00:02:18.831
• And the universe became transparent.00:02:26.048
• 00:02:26.048
• So it is the moment when light separated from matter.00:02:30.897
• 00:02:30.897
• It is not really possible to translate such a situation00:02:45.267
• 00:02:45.267
• into some symbol.00:02:51.410
• 00:02:51.410
• There I had run into trouble a little.00:02:56.082
• 00:02:56.082
• It is so abstract, in such measures and magnitudes,00:03:01.073
• 00:03:01.073
• that instead I attempted to show00:03:05.356
• 00:03:05.356
• that prehistoric photons are here,00:03:10.070
• 00:03:10.070
• and they can be measured.00:03:16.422
• 00:03:16.422
• When Mr. Jungwirth described it to me,00:03:19.523
• 00:03:19.523
• he said that in one cubic centimeter,00:03:23.464
• 00:03:23.464
• that is, in one sugar cube,00:03:26.740
• 00:03:26.740
• there are00:03:29.087
• 00:03:29.087
• 00:03:29.087
• He used the example of a sugar cube00:03:31.907
• 00:03:31.907
• so that one can imagine it better.00:03:33.881
• 00:03:33.881
• I enjoyed working with this strange comparison00:03:36.414
• 00:03:36.414
• which is slightly misleading because, after all,00:03:39.473
• 00:03:39.473
• there are no photons in a sugar cube.00:03:43.802
• 00:03:43.802
• But I have a feeling that thanks to this comparison00:03:46.267
• 00:03:46.267
• it is an image one can better remember00:03:50.056
• 00:03:50.056
• so we are going to have an installation of sugar cubes.00:03:54.280
• 00:03:54.280
• Those will be special sugar cubes in which white sugar00:04:00.486
• 00:04:00.486
• and cane sugar will be mixed in a ratio corresponding to00:04:03.510
• 00:04:03.510
• the amount of photons in one cubic centimeter.00:04:07.903
• 00:04:07.903
• The sugar cubes will be free to take.00:04:10.882
• 00:04:10.882
• So this is an effort by me to spread this information00:04:15.089
• 00:04:15.089
• further in a playful way.00:04:18.741
• 00:04:18.741
• So during such an insignificant - compared with astrophysics -00:04:22.236
• 00:04:22.236
• act as drinking coffee one can, in some form,00:04:26.688
• 00:04:26.688
• remember this thing.00:04:29.796
• 00:04:29.796
• The second level is to introduce00:04:35.917
• 00:04:35.917
• not only the discovery, but also the discoverers.00:04:37.873
• 00:04:37.873
• This is not Mr. Jungwirth,00:04:42.930
• 00:04:42.930
• the discovery took place some fifty years ago.00:04:47.397
• 00:04:47.397
• I want to show that without those people,00:04:49.836
• 00:04:49.836
• the discoveries would not have been possible.00:04:52.102
• 00:04:52.102
• Their presence and their research00:04:55.963
• 00:04:55.963
• co-creates those phenomena.00:04:58.637
• 00:04:58.637
• So I have created several objects,00:05:01.394
• 00:05:01.394
• a table, a chair, a shirt.00:05:05.942
• 00:05:05.942
• Those objects have their own existence as,00:05:08.670
• 00:05:08.670
• let's say, sculptures, but an object,00:05:12.203
• 00:05:12.203
• not an installation, but a solitary thing,00:05:16.969
• 00:05:16.969
• is always somehow torn out out of some universe00:05:22.189
• 00:05:22.189
• which may not exist, or to which we may have no access.00:05:25.802
• 00:05:25.802
• When it is exhibited at a gallery,00:05:29.333
• 00:05:29.333
• it is just as torn out as it is in my studio,00:05:31.763
• 00:05:31.763
• in a storage, or anywhere else.00:05:36.557
• 00:05:36.557
• So I don't present those objects in a gallery.00:05:38.145
• 00:05:38.145
• Instead I exhibit photographs of those objects in space,00:05:42.817
• 00:05:42.817
• that is, in space for which they were designed.00:05:46.242
• 00:05:46.242
• In the meantime I had an exhibition00:05:53.909
• 00:05:53.909
• which dealt more with research of perception,00:05:59.013
• 00:05:59.013
• which is a parallel theme for me.00:06:03.383
• 00:06:03.383
• I would like to join these two themes00:06:07.884
• 00:06:07.884
• into one single exhibition because I think00:06:11.784
• 00:06:11.784
• that the universe out there is very close to00:06:14.758
• 00:06:14.758
• the universe in our head.00:06:19.390
• 00:06:19.390
• That these two spaces, so to speak,00:06:21.566
• 00:06:21.566
• are very much related.00:06:27.448
• 00:06:27.448
• So this may be my next research.00:06:32.468
