Instead of students, the building was temporarily inhabited by creatures created by the artist, and the footage is accompanied by Koťátková’s gentle, sensitive, yet critical voiceover (letter to the school).

Bromová is often associated with the transformation of the perception of female identity in the art of the 1990s in Central and Eastern Europe. She is interested in women’s sexualized position in society. In her ritualized performances of recent years, on the other hand, she emphasizes the archetypal healing power of femininity, fertility, relationships, and collectivity.
