This tiny “ice house” of the size of a small room mediates colour effects caused by sunshine to the audience. However at night, it turns into a glowing crystal offering a shadow play on its walls. This intimate installation with a magic touch bears the unmistakable handwriting of František Skála, which typically represents little creatures and their everyday objects, living peacefully somewhere in the nature without us even knowing about them.

Founding member of the art collective TVRDOHLAVÍ (The Stubborn) and is also active in the vocal and dance theater group Tros Sketos.
