Jiří Žák
Jiří
Žák mainly works with
video. A specific political issue – arranged
in
an imaginative and an immersive form - always is the base
of his work. He oscillates between video-essay and hybrid forms of an
experimental cinematic performance or a video installation. He
is specifically preoccupied
with the historical socio-political themes
as
well as contemporary ones. He is particularly interested in how we
shape the nature of objects by projecting
into them; the discrepancy between our perception of the world and
its actual state. Jiří Žák
asks a question how
to create a meaningful story of our lives in the complexity and
the uncertainty of our era.
