Aleš Hrdlička: Orbiting Zero

orbiting zero is a constantly developing spiral that revolves around the theme of creation. Aleš Hrdlička examines the concomitant juggling and the new magic links between expectations and reality and finds that their world is not just black and white. Form.

Each invention offers a new dialogue between the artist's intention and intuition and captures them in an endless loop.
