AVU STORIES, Books installation view

The topic of the role of artists penetrates the walls of institutions, the encounters at art openings and the homes of people who hate art. The seven parts of the university comic are a script interwoven with experiences of seven years of study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. The attempts of not censoring one’s experiences involve specific individuals, real characters that guide the story. The seedbed of trauma is infused with a blend of pathos and dry humour.
