Elen Řádová / Czech Republic / 1993 / 1 min.


synopsis

The erotic charge of the title is underscored by its visual treatment in the film’s opening, with pink typography evoking the aesthetics of hourly hotels and titillating shows from the 1990s. Instead of sexual imagery, however, the film consists of an animated choreography of two apples, reminiscent of the surrealist stop-motion films of Jan Švankmajer.

biography

Elen Řádová studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in the early 1990s in the studios of Aleš Veselý, Michael Bielický, and Milan Knížák. She has presented her artistic work in many exhibitions, such as Women’s Homes (1992/1994). Under the moniker Babe LN, she became a part of the post-revolutionary dance scene, performed as a DJ, and since 2000 has been working for Radio 1.
