Green Fox Street


The book not only reconstructs but also constructs the apartment and studio of Ester Krumbachová, prominent artist of the Czechoslovak new wave, based on her peers’ memories and her estate which is being researched by art specialists and art historians. Her apartment represents a starting point of an outline of ideas behind the work of this artist – film director, costume designer, screenwriter and writer –, her life and historical context. Ester Krumbachová lived in this apartment since the early 1960s until her death in 1996. She not only lived there but also (especially after the so-called Normalization hindered her film career) worked and met with her collaborators and friends. In fact, she made it her inner exile. In the book her apartment, its functions and context are shown through an extensive interview of her friends and collaborators that visited her as well as through digital images in which the virtual space of the 3D reconstruction blends with the photographs taken at those times. The fiction based on virtual reconstruction, archive material and compilation of the interviewees’ memories offers an insight into the artist’s life, work and times. Introduction Edith Jeřábková.
