About Robert Houzar
Biography
'm Prague-based artist working with high resolution photography. The main topic of my work is transformation and movement of mass, caused by human existence. I am interested in apparent rationality of individual’s limited perspective in relation to the process of permanent proliferation of the entire civilization. Thanks to the method of a manipulated photography and computer collage, I can take all the mass produced by mankind and handle it completely freely, deprive it of its purpose, throw its fragments on a heap like branches in forest, crush skyscrapers in Hong Kong to small pieces and let them mould like old pieces of wood. I work with photographic material purchased mainly in big urban conglomerations such as Hong Kong, New York, Buenos Aires, Berlin, etc. High resolution of pictures enables me to create large-format prints with the most delineated details. I cut pictures of the world, create structures from structures, question them in spite of the fact I am ingrained in them.
