14th Shanghai Biennale: “Cosmos Cinema”
In the end, all the benefits must not be consumed by time. Therefore, where the Sun works, the overall untidiness of the world is replaced by new foundations. Short narrative of the legs - factographic poem about the journey to work.
"Leibniz inspired poem in a setting of Andrej Platonov's pit."
The Foundations of the Work of the Sun (2023) is a short film-poem consisting of interconnecting “micro-essays” that collectively constitute a “fictional documentary” about the work of the sun. Inspired by (among other things) G.W. Leibniz’s theory of a pre-established harmony and his contributions to the science of optics, the film reflects on how the camera “translates” sunlight into intelligible images and how a photograph might be understood as the visual document of an embodied perspective. Based on a poetic sound composition, each story in the film touches on themes of labor, exhaustion, and utopianism. One chapter alludes to Andrei Platonov’s The Foundation Pit (1968), while another follows the story of a worker whose life is recorded in photograms, snapshots, and prints. Taken together, these “micro-essays” address the question: How to think collectively through the individual?

Editorial of the 1st issue:
What's a !TLAČ?
!TLAČ is a printmaking gesture, a student project, a freshly established intellectual ecosystem and at the same time just an ordinary graphic sheet. The premise of the magazine is not to conquer the quasi-modernist reflection and essentialism of the medium of printmaking. The magazine is founded on the ambition to fill the (by us perceived) ostentatious gap in the field of broader theoretical reflection of printmaking. And through the popularisation of essays and original literary and non-literary forms already existing or directly produced for !TLAČ, wants to promote and defend printmaking as an underestimated subject of (not only) theoretical interest in a subversive, accessible, complex, banal or even provocative way. To search for forms of contemporary printmaking, to ask questions relevant to the field and its development, in an attempt to update and grasp the thinking about printmaking as a medium coming to terms with its position in the 21st century. !TLAČ is the responsibility of the students* of the Graphics 2 studio (AVU Prague) and their friends and colleagues across disciplines.
