Cross and Stag
Life on Earth has gone through some four billion years of evolution and has always already been together, intertwined with a network of intimate relationships. We all share a common ancestor, we all need the same compounds to live, and our structure is made with the same building blocks, we all share common understanding of “substance semiotics”.
The camera on a tripod recorded women, men and children coming up on an escalator from the subway at Wenceslas Square from the then still non-existent underground station Můstek. Their faces reflect everyday commonness and their passive bodies are brought up to the surface in a continual stream on an escalator. Through those people Ságl showed the resignation of Czech society during the normalization period.
