Aneta Hrdličková has chosen an unusual place to relax and present her art: the Jewish cemetery in Telč. The manager, whose hobby is visual art, is exhibiting her paintings there and personally keeping watch over them.
For 14 days, she is living in the cemetery’s former mortuary and ceremonial hall. The building has no electricity, water or gas, turning the exhibition into an experience that extends well beyond the gallery walls.
A small structure nearby, marked by a heart on its door, serves instead of a toilet.
