Ivan Svoboda has been exclusively working in the medium of video and video installation since 2006. His videos combine elements and approaches of documentary film and narrative story-telling. Thematically I address the issues of a man, home, city, routine, habits etc. The spine of his videos is formed by texts appearing in video at the beginning of it or as guidelines running throughout the whole piece. In 2010 he introduced to his videos a new feature – back projection which brings to the video a further time or space line. Currently he use the similar feature also in photography when at the same time he shoots the projection and real environment and their „logical“ relation becomes the result of the treated subject matter.
