EMERGENCY CALL 911
This is an article that was meant to be a part of a school magazine 'Seroxat'. However the mag existed only from Dec 2010 - Jan 2011, also there were some print errors and so the article is officialy premiered here, today on my blog... The article is in Czech but I translated and edited the main part into English.

DIAGNOSIS:
The syringe in the heel
shards in palms
bleeding

THE CALL:
I'm Achilles
deep in broken glass
I need some help
indeed I have to find a way out of this place
a woman is locked in a window
burning sound of machines is like deus ex machina
so unfair
as all everything trapped in unreality
where the being is not as obvious as there with you
here we know it's value
we appreciate it
even if we get only the pain of drugs
the reason of all dreaming
so sick
still so real
unknown
because no body knows,
why we chose these images
why we chose this area of sick being
from which we might flee after 1157 days
after the revolt of prisoners,
yet so apathetic
possessed

Concept

It's simple - what I really dislike are people who treat the polite ones as rubbish.
There are many people like that.
So I wanted to demonstrate it and that's why I made this.
(Well... also our Arts teacher a bit forced me to do some conceptual art and/or happening)


I placed a word "slušnost" that means "politeness" in Czech on the floor in our school.
There is a mistake in it, cause it in fact says "služnost". There is no such word in Czech language but it reminds of the word "služba" which means "duty" - so somebody may think the polite ones are treated now as servants.
Also I wrote "this letter is upside down" on the letter O and "it's dark in here" on the letter T to make it a bit abstract and absurd - because art is for me connected with free form.
Finally I put a sign on the main board which says:
 Do you look around?
 Which methods do you use in order to get what you want?
 How do you define things that are wrong and things that are right?
 Do you care about politeness?
