Object/Subject Absolute
Series: Object / Subject Absolute install a model of principles, which the author considers it essential for the perception of sculptural object. These include a “point of view” or dependence on the object’s shape space planting. Každý z vystavených objektů vždy demonstruje jeden konkrétní princip, který je doplněn lapidární textovou instruktáží.
Demkovy objekty lze přirovnat k laboratorním pomůckám, které vznikly proto, aby ilustrovaly určitý obecný, předem stanovený jev. Byť jejich abstrahovanou podobu určuje autorský rukopis a demonstrované principy vycházejí z jeho subjektivního myšlení. Autor vede pomyslný dialog s divákem, konstruuje jeho otázky a podává k nim vlastní výklad.Each of the exhibited objects always demonstrates a particular principle, which is accompanied by concise text briefing.
Demkovy objects can be compared to laboratory aids which arose in order to illustrate a generic, pre-determined phenomenon. Although the author determines the abstract form and demonstrated the principles of the manuscript based on his subjective thinking. By leading an imaginary dialogue with the viewer constructs his questions and gives them their own interpretation.

- 00:00:20.000
- I created especially for this event.00:00:23.673
- 00:00:23.673
- The line of my work is always the same,00:00:27.933
- 00:00:27.933
- I only adjust it to the concrete exhibitions.00:00:31.443
- 00:00:31.443
- But I keep using the same procedures,00:00:37.011
- 00:00:37.011
- except that this exhibition00:00:41.681
- 00:00:41.681
- is accompanied by texts.00:00:46.815
- 00:00:46.815
- During the creation of the project00:00:51.119
- 00:00:51.119
- I chose some basic pictograms00:00:59.882
- 00:00:59.882
- that became the starting point00:01:04.281
- 00:01:04.281
- of all the themes.00:01:07.574
- 00:01:07.574
- Their purpose was not to provide00:01:10.132
- 00:01:10.132
- a complete visualization00:01:13.132
- 00:01:13.132
- but rather to suggest a concept.00:01:16.039
- 00:01:16.039
- It's quite curious00:01:19.736
- 00:01:19.736
- that objects, and by that I mean sculptures,00:01:23.456
- 00:01:23.456
- usually aren't accompanied by text.00:01:29.877
- 00:01:29.877
- Text is only used for other forms,00:01:33.440
- 00:01:33.440
- more conceptual or encrypted in a way.00:01:36.940
- 00:01:36.940
- And suddenly, my objects00:01:41.040
- 00:01:41.040
- are exhibited together with texts.00:01:43.776
- 00:01:43.776
- More leads are provided00:01:47.242
- 00:01:47.242
- by two elements:00:01:51.672
- 00:01:51.672
- firstly, the Tree of Themes00:01:54.172
- 00:01:54.172
- in the form of a diagram00:01:57.172
- 00:01:57.172
- showing the terrain00:02:00.396
- 00:02:00.396
- covered by the themes I use00:02:06.049
- 00:02:06.049
- in this exhibition.00:02:09.111
- 00:02:09.111
- The smallest branches of the diagram00:02:13.047
- 00:02:13.047
- represent the absolute intuitiveness00:02:21.743
- 00:02:21.743
- and impulsiveness in myself.00:02:27.300
- 00:02:27.300
- I usually stay within the main branches.00:02:31.702
- 00:02:31.702
- But this work,00:02:36.597
- 00:02:36.597
- cooling liquid used in machinery,00:02:39.097
- 00:02:39.097
- belongs rather to the smaller branches.00:02:42.769
- 00:02:42.769
- It's about getting to the grease,00:02:46.269
- 00:02:46.269
- to the archetypal feeling of the material,00:02:49.281
- 00:02:49.281
- to the liquid character, to industry,00:02:53.294
- 00:02:53.294
- to embalming and mummification00:02:58.646
- 00:02:58.646
- by means of a tape soaked in asphalt.00:03:01.646
- 00:03:01.646
- The tape can be shaped and polished00:03:07.875
- 00:03:07.875
- to give birth to something archetypal.00:03:11.536
- 00:03:11.536
- It looks a little like resin.00:03:15.036
- 00:03:15.036
- Materials are very important in my work,00:03:20.946
- 00:03:20.946
- the material aspect of things.00:03:24.446
- 00:03:24.446
- I work with materials that emanate energy00:03:27.512
- 00:03:27.512
- and something archetypal.00:03:31.012
- 00:03:31.012
- I'm interested in greasiness, immersion,00:03:34.386
- 00:03:34.386
- oiled ropes, graphite, surfaces...00:03:37.984
- 00:03:37.984
- These kinds of things are situated00:03:41.966
- 00:03:41.966
- in the smallest branches of the diagram.00:03:45.466
- 00:03:45.466
- Maybe there's no sense talking about them00:03:49.357
- 00:03:49.357
- as the main leads.00:03:54.701
