Eyes to Speak

// stainless steel, cement clinker

// 4K 2-channel video, 6'32'' (underwater footage from Oder river & animation in collaboration with Denisa Müllerová)

The project examines the industrialized shores of the Oder river. It reaches under the water surface, to the river bed, to place itself inside the map of interconnected relationships. Looking from down below, it attempts to reconcile external inquiry and a view from within - the metabolic world under the water level, but also inside the pipes, which function as a reminder of the grid-like infrastructures of transit, waste and circulation of goods, becomes partially uncovered, while acknowledging that the totality can never be known.
