Worldstar Trailer lg

A film about an old man with no needs and a remarkable past, facing the hype as an artist against his will.

Miroslav Tichý lived like a hermit for decades in a small surrounded just by a few friends. Now in his old age he has to face the fame. "They should have come earlier, now it's too late." he says. In the art world, meanwhile, he is presented as a fighter against the communist regime. The photographs are being sold for up to 12 000 Euro.
In 2004 I came across an exhibition catalogue. One page was dedicated to Miroslav Tichý. He and his work were exceptional. I became curious and contacted the editor of this catalogue, Roman Buxbaum. He knew Mr. Tichý and they seemed to be best friends. Two weeks later I was standing in Miroslav Tichýs house and said: "Many greetings from Mr. Buxbaum.". I was shocked to hear the wildest combination of rude words. That's where it all started.

Well that are paradoxes of our country. Guy that was considered outsider, odd fish and voyer yet is suddenly the greatest phenomenon of the word visual arts in last half century. Stone declined by builder became the cornerstone.

But I want to warn: Be careful, please! Too much glory may kill. I am not very surprised that you have hear rude words. I know by hearsay about a homeless from Zlin who had rescued a delayed baby from the death. Glory has killed him. He haven´t done it for glory!

This is evident as one reads the description of his works in the Sydney Biennale catalogue of last year which claims his photos as "a conscious reaction to the communist regime and ode to humanistic beauty."Sure, to some degree this is true but really, as it sems in this video espescially ,Tichy was unconcened with the reception of his

Love that these works were constructed primarily as sort of a hobby, or cathartic thing for Tichy but are seemingly over analysed by art practitioners as Tichy has risen to artistic fame .
