16:59 – 19th of July 2019 … but where are all those paintings?

The photo-performances In love with red dust of living,

which were created from April 2017 to the present. They respond to the architecture, light and spaces of the Veletržní palác, an iconic building of Czech functionalism, where I am very often present for my work. The photographs are created very spontaneously in response to the current effect of light, which can completely transform this minimalist-looking building with interiors in shades of white. The sharp contrasts, the projection of patterns and the transparencies always create a different space. Coloured according to the time of day or season.

The photo-performances have a few constant principles - the actions are not repeated or rehearsed, they are improvised, photographed for 10 seconds by the self-timer of a mobile phone camera that I place on the floor, windowsill or other suitable place. The format of the photo is square, usually taking 3-5 shots. I see the result after the photo is taken, the selected image remains with little or no editing.

The only viewer present is the camera lens.
