Zbyněk Baladrán, Constructivist Model Tower, 2006 (video, 4’17)






Zbynek Baladran documents in this video, the creation of a model tower, freely inspired by Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International. Piling up old books of various topics he is noting the height of each book on its spine according to a 1:50 ratio. The original concept of the Constructivist tower as a Utopian model has been oriented towards the future. Baladrán’s tower puts together fragments of the past (books), producing a form in which the past future meets the present past. www.zbynekbaladran.com
