Carlos Castaneda calls time tenant a wizard of ancient times who defies time and goes through centuries in various physical forms with lasting consciousness. The exhibition of the filmmaker Jan Rousek, presenting his work for the first time in a gallery context, seeks tenants of various forms who, like the wizards of old times, transcend their existence and correspond in spite of them, on the example of modern Czechoslovak history, which he understands as a space formed by these wizards. Rousek's exhibition attempts to capture the tenants, at least in part, through a video installation, which is an insight into the incomprehensible world of the collapsing communist regime. The artist opens a strange space, little exposed in contemporary art, inhabited by relics of the past, tenants of time, who at a certain time separated themselves from the development of history and established their own dead end.
Exploring the relationship of man to nature. Admiration, humility and desire for harmony. The need to own, organize and sort out. The natural process becomes a collector's item, the subject of scientific research, or a co-author and narrator of the story.
