I am a filmmaker and an artist. I like to combine different artistic approaches and communication strategies. In my filmmaking, I focus mainly on projects related to contemporary art, design and fashion. I create art installations inspired by positive psychology.
In 2016, I completed the feature-length documentary A Living Space about The Watermill Cultural Center, which we shot in the USA at the invitation of Robert Wilson.
Between 2012 and 2018, I led the team mapping Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week. I have been cooperating for a long time with the clothing designer Liběna Rochová, about whom we are currently preparing a feature-length documentary. I also created fashion films for the brands Blažek, ODIVI nebo Jakub Polanka.
In 2021, I prepared the dance film New Normal with the Laterna Magika ensemble for the National Theater.
I am the initiator of the collective work of art Czech Gratitude, the aim of which is to create the largest collection of gratitude letters in the world in the Czech Republic. This participatory artistic concept aims to connect Czech society and raise awareness of positive psychology.
One of the last realizations is the Heartbeat concept, where from the position of art I present a universal greeting for the whole world.
From my films and videos, I create an ever-expanding collection of SweetDreams graphic sheets.
