Untitled 19 – untitled 21
“Radek Brousil tries to hold conceptual language and strategies of a classic analogue photography. As the exhibition title implies, he uses mechanical methods to mark one picture off from the other. Thus he changes not only the form and the way of a picture presentation but also the meaning. Mostly within diptyches, he formally moves the contents at the exhibition as if it was a game.”
