This is the first installation at SPEJS whose essential element is a projection. What is meant by projection here is the display of visible, animated and realistic moving images. Although Robert Loskot’s light installation Two Suns, with which this exhibition space opened eight months ago, also employed a projection, the artwork was concerned with the general characteristics of the space itself, rather than with utilising its wall surfaces as projection screens.

With his installation Work, Bujňák employs moving images to artistically augment the SPEJS atrium, which is surrounded by numerous busy offices pulsating with work-related activities. The projection is divided into two parts. The first displays moving images of figures resembling the artist entering the building and walking up into the offices. The second is an almost pictographic depiction of work, specifically that of a person pushing a wheelbarrow. Together, these two moving image tapestries somewhat grotesquely complement the architectural space, accentuating it with additional layers of meaning.

Tomáš Bujňák (born 1979) is the second student from the studio of Magdalena Jetelová with an installation at SPEJS (the first was Richard Loskot) and this is an indication of her own artistic practice - she employs programming and image projection to test and implement her ideas about the final appearance of an artwork.
