Public Space by František Skála

A documentary film following František Skála - a visual artist, performer, and musician - as he moves through public space. With humor, seriousness, and self-irony, it opens up themes of beauty in imperfection, poetry in the ordinary, and the joy of creation as a way of life.

A significant part of the film documents the creation of a monumental sculpture of a dog named Vulpes Gott - from model-making to its journey by boat down the Elbe to an opening in Dresden. The narrative is woven through with the artist's diaries and objects in public space, including his first sculpture in the Veltrusy castle park, Prastánek, and the Paradise Garden at Sluňakov.

The film features the band Třaskavá směs, the brass ensemble Provodovjané, and philosopher Miroslav Petříček. Skála's work is also connected to Divadlo Sklep, the group Tvrdohlaví, the ensemble Tros Sketos, and M.T.O. Universal.
