Čestmír Suška & Petr Pufler (CZ) → Ocelot

About project

The matador of Czech sculpture, Čestmír Suška, unites his talents with the young lighting designer Petr Pufler. Suška’s monumental metal cylinder called Ocelot has travelled to Prague from the Restart exhibition in Plzeň to appear in an entirely new context as part of the European Capital City of Culture. The moving lights of Petr Pufler join this work in a dance of shadows that plays out on the tiles and facades of Ovocný Trh. The installation was lent from the Restart exhibition organized within the project Pilsen 2015.
