The work of Pavel Sterec (* 1985), a finalist in the 22 nd year of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award, most frequently adopts the form of complicated installations which are painstakingly thought out to the last detail and respond to various types of stimuli. In his most recent undertaking the artist uses exotic lives and customs as a tool for more universal thoughts on symbolic capital, fetishism, values and their devaluation.
