220227 Oil & Blood

Black ink fragments spread across the horizontal sheet as an uneven field. Narrow vertical strokes gather toward the upper left, broader dark masses accumulate across the upper and right areas, and white channels repeatedly cut between the marks.

History

The historical Oil & Blood I and Oil & Blood II formed a proto-series of fourteen small graphic sheets. The three current canonical Oil & Blood Works are larger-format interpretations of three selected works from that proto-series. The remaining historical sheets remain accessible through `Rabota - Oil and Blood.pdf` and are not established as separate current canonical Works.

221011 BordersA video installation structured around three borders: the visible but non-existent horizon between heaven and earth, the existing but invisible Czech-German border, and the border between peacetime and war. The three borders separate visibility from existence: one is visible but does not exist, one exists but is invisible, and one is experienced as a historical rupture. The Work keeps these regimes non-equivalent.
