Jan Svoboda: Place
interactive site-specific installation
granary
technical support by Ivo Kornatovský
This was a part of the on-going serie "Light, Space, Time," the last segment from a process-oriented works which Jan Svoboda conducted in the granary between 1993 and 1997.
The room under the clock machine including weights - the old plank floor - was carefully cleaned, snatched, washed and manually fanned. I was using pigments, beeswax, and resin and tried to shape a stage, a "reflection mirror" for the theater of lights shadows, thrown by this machine. It changed depending on the movement of the sun, and the pendulum and the weight of the clock machine.
