Behind the Paper
Krejčová, Kristýna ; Svobodová, Adéla (referee) ; Kollarová, Denisa (advisor)
Behind the Paper in the form of installation and printed matter helps to look "behind the paper" - what is hidden in its unwritten sheet. It offers an excursion into how this material is viewed and tries to break through the myths and stereotypes that shape the view of it in the age of globalization, which, under the guise of obviousness, drives our society to alienation and ignorance. Shake with the indifference which we have toward things that surround us - the indifference with which we (do not)look at the paper, for example - can be the first step to the never-ending questions of "how it works". The cultural myths that have become a reality in our eyes have enveloped this medium and erased it from our field of vision. We perceive the A4 sheet with its dimensions of 210 by 297 mm, a pure white surface and its base is spruce wood as a fact. However, the mentioned paper features are a fact of the last century, which is a really short time compared to its two thousand years of existence. We take paper for granted. It is good to realize that we look at many other "things" with the same ignorance, and at the same time they have a fundamental influence on the functioning of our society.
