All the tiles were collected from a roof of an old house, which was condemned to demolition. Its smashed and shattered roof becomes rearranged and pieced back together to a symbolic bed – a site of rest, birth or death. Bed that incorporates the most intimate moments of life and presents a sort of tiny dwelling in the midst of a house.
Artist Statement
"A Story" in the broad sense of the word is the point in Robert Buček ´s work. The story may be experienced, seen, literary or mythical. Sometimes there is a feeling of a given situation and that feeling evokes another, inner feelings consequently. Through the materialization of those feelings Robert Buček contemplates their contents and then either identifies with them or takes a stand on the issue.
