NOTES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Notes: curated in The Window to the Archive programme at Artycok.tv in 2012.

Subtitled in English and accompanied by the Kamera Skura group`s texts.

Adopted text on the work: We asked our friends, artists and theoreticians (Headless Horseman collective, Petr Lysáček, Vladimír Skrepl, Jana and Jiří Ševčík) to share an idea, based on which we would make an art work. They could not influence our choice of form, technology, material and the final outcome. We wanted to research what is more important – the idea or the realization? We did not find an answer or a solution. All the participants of this project, however, have become the members of Kamera Skura. Vladimír Skrepl’s idea was the phrase: “Why does no one like you? Because you’re a loser!” We chose to make a video, a hand-made imitation of silent film. It was supposed to be comical to make the depressive and heavy message (woman’s contempt for a man) more bearable. The black and white silent film was used in order to emphasize its timelessness and urgency. Certain situations remain always black and white even if some things are left unsaid.
