Anna Petruželová studies at the Documentary films dept. on FAMU (the academy of Performing Arts in Prague) and she is interested in things… Veronika Svobodová deals with structural asymmetries, moves the images in the space of theatre, but also in the forest. She is playing with the sand and stones. Her approach to working with sound reveals her link to theatre scenography, art installations and performance.
