CO JSTE JEŠTĚ NEVIDĚLI II
Jiří Thýn
Jiří Thýn approaches the photographic medium, objects, site-specific installations, and video installations intuitively. In his own words, he tries to work with photography as if he were painting. This allows him to express himself authentically and emotionally through gestures. The author also draws digitally with a computer cursor, without striving for consistent perfection. He is now looking for a way to work with photography in a completely immediate way, moving toward the principle of chance in the digital process. The exhibition Silence, Torso, Presence encourages quiet reflection, contemplation of the perception of time not only in photography but also in the history of sculpture, and reflection on "torsos" which, although they evoke heaviness, refer to the basic forms and principles of our existence.
Eva Maceková, Iva Davidová
Both authors work with fictional worlds (seemingly) untouched by humans, which serve as romanticized escapes from the chaotic reality of the present. Instead of the desired contemplation, the scenes of an untouched natural world evoke an almost disturbing feeling of permanence and death.
