dreaming (2021)
Time passes. The influences that affect our life behavior are continuously changing. Art Nouveau, cubism, functionalism, brutalism. From handcrafted details to wider prefabricated units. From areas measured by human scale to dull high-capacity terrariums. What happens when the mechanism wins? A record of a dream I had…

notie (2020)
A small living being emerges from the drawings of a Hebrew notebook. Scalded by a feeling of sudden revival, she throws herself into discovering the wonders and magic that are hidden next to the rules of grammar – into the long forests of sketches overflowing with bizarre life forms.

Imagine the dilemma; report of the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia will get to you on the morning of August 21 in Brussels, the previous day you participated in the international briefing of the Jewish Masonic counter-revolutionary forces preparing the capitalist coup in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Will you return to the Czechoslovakia even though everything may be lost? Will you be able to redistribute ammo from the secret firearm stockpiles in time?
After a long leave in the West, you return to Bohemia. The situation has changed significantly since your last stay. On your way you will have to step out of the conformity of anonymity and fight your way to a successful counter-revolution! Of course, with the wit and disarming charm that your character itself emits into space. So who are you going to fight?
-his bro is unable to close the door
-cuckold bourgeois
-weakness for interrogation
-simply deportable by the state police
-neurobi federaciju
Politicians, militiamen, policemen, saints, artists and students… even tanks, everything is against you. You have to get tuned properly to succeed. Therefore, throw in the right flow soundtrack of the Vysehrad riders, which will create the right nationalist atmosphere, and let’s go!
