Ztrácení
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.
Jestrdej (1983), a silent black-and-white film bordering on video performance about the small everyday mysteries with classic film gag elements, accompanied by commentary in which he reflects upon his position at that time as an “Olomouc performer”. Thus the work Yesterday (1983– 2008) was created that opens a regular presentation of videos from the AVU Research Center video archive.
