The work of Pavel Sterec (* 1985), a finalist in the 22 nd year of
the Jindřich Chalupecký Award, most frequently adopts the form of
complicated installations which are painstakingly thought out to the
last detail and respond to various types of stimuli. In his most recent
undertaking the artist uses exotic lives and customs as a tool for more
universal thoughts on symbolic capital, fetishism, values and their
devaluation.
