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.

photos and really just took them cause he most probably loved the photographic process! In any case, really appreciate his works and the personality behiind them.
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 .
didnt know he speaks german, seems to be a pretty nice guy. had the feeling, media tried to form an image of a cruel, mean fucker... nice to see this man live, how hes nice... long live miro.
