Adopted text on the work: In the early 1980s, Vladimír Havlík was involved in action art, which he documented via photographs. Around the same time, he also occasionally made films (Fragments, He Cut His Hair and Jestrdej), which he first exhibited upon the urging of artist Barbora Klímová at Prague’s Parallel Gallery in 2009. For Jestrdej (1983), a silent black-and-white film that mixes elements of video performance with those of classics lapstick, he subsequently added an audio commentary in which he engages in a critical reflectionupon the position of “Olomouc performance artist” that he held at the time.
