A film by Masakatsu Takagi.

The strange co-existence of acceptance and rebellion, the collision of space and time, tell us that at the very moment the message is given, fertilisation takes place. We are, as it were, inside biology, the very act of conception. This coming to life in gradual stages takes us to the heart of the process of creating art; the message is no longer an abstraction, it is reality. Rather than something finished, isn’t what we call nowadays conceptual art the portent of a new art, the Annunciation of an art yet to be born?

A city’s urban architecture and spatial design often dictate the primary mode of getting from A to B. In LA the done thing is driving, whilst in Amsterdam you get on your bike and in Tokyo the main means of transport is rail. In these two video works, Junebum Park hones in on two distinct forms of getting oneself to a new location: on foot or arriving by car. Filmed from above, both works show the graphic patterns of urban planning in the form of the white lines of zebra crossings and parking lots, being used by city dwellers. Seen from this birds-eye view the humans become like bugs and Park plays with this scale further with the introduction of his hand, about ten times larger than the ant-like people, directing the action. As the viewer we see the scene from Park’s viewpoint, as the omni-present, all-seeing entity in charge.

In-depth interpretation of the life and work of the Czech painter Alén Diviš (1900 - 1956) is not just a portrait or a profile but a subjective and abstract picture of the painter's travels through the world, a tissue of creative moments. The artist's existential experience is reflected in these moments, linked up by the lines of his voyages around the world. The director went to France, Morocco and the United States to record again places that were once the artist's inspiration, the landscapes and the walls, to capture their essence, even if only in one shot, one brief glimpse. The films develops through the tension between by Rezníček's contemporary perspective, his documentary invention, and the Diviš's original works, his drawings and fragmentary writings.
