- The exhibition is called Apparatus for Maintaining Order,00:00:03.583
- 00:00:03.583
- the whole exhibition comes out from my story of the same name.00:00:07.729
- 00:00:07.729
- On the story I based series of analogue photographs and a video installation.00:00:18.539
- 00:00:18.539
- The story on the photographs is described just in basic and brief pieces of information.00:00:29.130
- 00:00:29.130
- In the projection there is a storyteller describing00:00:40.041
- 00:00:40.041
- what's going on in the household and dialogues of the people.00:00:43.247
- 00:00:43.247
- Jiří ordered an apparatus for maintaining order on the Internet.00:00:48.256
- 00:00:48.256
- The second day.00:00:54.497
- 00:00:54.497
- The third day.00:00:56.541
- 00:00:56.541
- The fourth day.00:00:58.719
- 00:00:58.719
- Three days later the delivery service PPL delivered an apparatus from the Q company.00:01:02.807
- 00:01:02.807
- Jana and Jiří are very happy about it.00:01:07.268
- 00:01:07.268
- They read an extensive manual.00:01:09.365
- 00:01:09.365
- The story is about a household and people00:01:12.018
- 00:01:12.018
- who wanted to make cleaning their flat easier00:01:16.760
- 00:01:16.760
- and they ordered an apparatus which later became totally impractical for them00:01:26.582
- 00:01:26.582
- because it didn't meet the requirements they had had.00:01:34.736
- 00:01:34.736
- Speaking in a nutshell.00:01:41.950
- 00:01:41.950
- I designed the exhibition as a shadow theatre.00:01:49.069
- 00:01:49.069
- It is more evident in the projection and at first sight it may appear00:02:01.292
- 00:02:01.292
- there is something going on behind.00:02:05.337
- 00:02:05.337
- The photographs are on the same principle00:02:07.965
- 00:02:07.965
- but the time is stopped and the text is projected over light00:02:09.932
- 00:02:09.932
- as well as the black shadows of the cupboard or the shelves with the props.00:02:16.630
- 00:02:16.630
- The text is a follow-up to my text I wrote two years ago,00:02:27.949
- 00:02:27.949
- it deals with my feeling it is sometimes better not to have useless things at home00:02:39.281
- 00:02:39.281
- or things we use just once a year.00:02:49.149
- 00:02:49.149
- They remain in a cupboard, nobody uses them and they just take place.00:02:53.393
- 00:02:53.393
- It's better to have free room in the flat.00:02:57.814
- 00:02:57.814
- If you have more things like that, they just pile up00:03:03.256
- 00:03:03.256
- and you are lacking in the free space.00:03:09.153
- 00:03:09.153
- I guess it is better to have free space than useless things.00:03:12.184
- 00:03:12.184
- And the story is based on this.00:03:16.079
- 00:03:16.079
- I like working with issues which have00:03:25.939
- 00:03:25.939
- something to do with me and which I understand.00:03:29.378
- 00:03:29.378
- Common issues I encounter and I am able to describe because I experienced them.00:03:32.943
