Most people imagine academic work as a slow march up the steep steps of the Ivory Tower. It has its clear hierarchies, formal organization, its rules both written and unwritten. It requires diligence, distance and conscientious work. All that is often true and at times necessary. Therefore, not many people think that theory would be riveting or exciting. But the work of Kateřina Svatoňová shows us that theory is, first and foremost, an adventure.

The exhibition is not a historical cross-section of Ester Krumbachová's work (although it does reflect it), but rather an extensive network of original material, numerous texts, images, and artifacts that Krumbachová dealt with and surrounded herself with throughout her life. It primarily presents Ester Krumbachová's archive/estate in thematically interconnected blocks, revealing her thinking about costume design, particularly the role of detail and the use of color, the interconnection of meaning, artistic form, and the overall atmosphere of a film, her work with text that copies spoken language and folk storytelling rather than high literary style, her relationship to magic, realism, subjectivity, male and female polarity, and the hierarchy of species and social and professional positions.
