The Prison of Art

director: Radovan Síbrt
original title: Vězení umění
country: Czech Republic
year: 2012
running time: 87 min.

synopsis

“Most prisoners like boxes.” The constrained nature of prisons opens up an infinitude of fantasies and free artistic expression. Environment determines means of expression. A project of confrontation and dialogue with artists from the outside shows radical diff erences and a conspiratory divergence from social norms. This essay on imaginary and physical freedom introduces us to the extreme thoughts of our own boundaries and limitations.
