In the midst of the frenzy night a man finds himself lost in the crevasse of time. It was not the grotesque beings nor the monsters, but it was he who “was here, but wasn't here”. He was the phantom. Buried under memories full of inhibition and promises that never kept – words washed up on the shore – time keeps him at a distance from the “place”. And he hears poems coming on the waves from the other side rhyming and lapping against the shore. A 360° scope video Installation commissioned by Nagano Art Museum.Bobby Bumps' Pup Gets the Flea-Enza

IMDB 6 | Jan , 1984
One of the moralities of the trio of authors Milos Macourek, Adolf Born and Jaroslav Doubrava. It deals with the topic of implacability of human optimism and fantasy. In a sad manner it tells us a humorous story of a man living double life: one of a beaten little clerk, humiliated by his arrogant boss, imperious wife and misbehaved descendant; the other of a spoiled hero of a dream empire full of beautiful and tender women, flowers and fantastic figures. From artistic point of view is the film based on Adolf Born's lithographs.The Gang of Lidingö

The Gang of Lidingö is a story about the art of taking what you want. The same day the 70's became the 80's we left our tiny flat in the city. We did a turnaround. Bought a big house at Lidingö and were suddenly far away from our beloved demonstrations against capitalism's exploitation of the poor.Čardášová Julie
