KAPUSTA
Výstava absolventky AVU Pavly Scerankové.
Čo je to : Stojí, stojí dom, plno detí v ňom, nemá okná, nemá dverí, ako vidu von.
- The work, as I wrote before,00:00:26.368
- 00:00:26.368
- has two sources, so it is hard00:00:30.019
- 00:00:30.019
- to separate the video from the house.00:00:32.207
- 00:00:32.207
- One of them is a book of riddles00:00:35.194
- 00:00:35.194
- and nursery rhymes from my childhood00:00:39.943
- 00:00:39.943
- the riddles are on the invitation00:00:43.121
- 00:00:43.121
- and the other source is00:00:47.223
- 00:00:47.223
- my experience of Berlin, a big city,00:00:49.794
- 00:00:49.794
- its cold, professional attitude on one hand00:00:54.033
- 00:00:54.033
- and on the other hand an experience00:01:00.843
- 00:01:00.843
- of a random look out of the window of my dorm00:01:04.136
- 00:01:04.136
- on an area full of small garden houses00:01:12.204
- 00:01:12.204
- that is in the middle of blocks of flats.00:01:16.168
- 00:01:16.168
- So that is a view of the area00:01:21.237
- 00:01:21.237
- from a fifth floor00:01:24.906
- 00:01:24.906
- that doesn't normally arise.00:01:27.184
- 00:01:27.184
- And the view of the people who00:01:29.492
- 00:01:29.492
- on one hand are quiet on the subway,00:01:32.763
- 00:01:32.763
- profesionally polite in an office,00:01:35.128
- 00:01:35.128
- and suddenly they are working00:01:39.139
- 00:01:39.139
- in the garden in their shorts...00:01:41.376
- 00:01:41.376
- It's pointless to describe it00:01:43.573
- 00:01:43.573
- to the smallest details,00:01:45.560
- 00:01:45.560
- but these are the practical sources.00:01:47.434
- 00:01:47.434
- So I shot these people, their weekend world,00:01:53.635
- 00:01:53.635
- with a detailed camera,00:02:00.585
- 00:02:00.585
- I cut it without any further commentary.00:02:02.751
- 00:02:02.751
- What's interesting is the music00:02:06.492
- 00:02:06.492
- composed by a young Australian composer,00:02:08.612
- 00:02:08.612
- so I think that is what makes the video00:02:13.158
- 00:02:13.158
- somehow complete.00:02:16.900
- 00:02:16.900
- Then this little house is part of it as well,00:02:22.586
- 00:02:22.586
- it is standing upside down as if it was...00:02:26.124
- 00:02:26.124
- The important thing about it is that00:02:30.002
- 00:02:30.002
- that it is too big and at the same time00:02:32.020
- 00:02:32.020
- too small, simply undue,00:02:33.713
- 00:02:33.713
- and this inappropriateness is, I think,00:02:35.189
- 00:02:35.189
- what connects it with the video,00:02:38.721
- 00:02:38.721
- or with the lives of the people in the gardens00:02:41.728
- 00:02:41.728
- which is a made up life,00:02:45.889
- 00:02:45.889
- made up world, made up problem,00:02:48.162
- 00:02:48.162
- sort of an effort to put colours00:02:50.245
- 00:02:50.245
- into the world they otherwise have.00:02:55.192
