epic scenes before kitschy landscape refer to the mannerisms of assembly and creating artificial realities in the period of socialist realism, but also in advertising practice today. In the photos we touch often overused inexpensive photographic techniques and endless desire for technical dokonalosti.S enthusiastically quote typological approach Becher spouses with less enthusiasm-aware of my overuse of this principle in its own thinking ...
Retrospective Rony Plesl ( and photographs) shows artistic sculptures, but also objects for everyday use. Rony Plesl itself exudes experience and wisdom, but also incredible youthfulness and energy.
