synopsis
One of Bielický’s first videos, filmed during his studies in Düsseldorf. The recording of spontaneously occurring situations was shot in the studio on Double Super 8 film. However, with its subsequent conversion to video, we watch an unbroken film strip. This creates a new type of spatial communication between the individual frames of film and the action in them.
biography

He has created single-channel works, installations, and video sculptures that make use of a television signal.
