A horse passing by Miroslav Tichýs house. 2005

The 28th of April our film was shown at the filmfestival Sehsüchte. Unfortunately the sun was a better reason to stay outside. But nevertheless The reaction and the comments were great. It was wonderful to meet some old friends and some new filmmaker from all over the world. It was a nice time.

Beate&Katerina at Sehsüchte

During the day looking for films and in the evenening drinking but not dancing.

The beginning and the film

2007-03-25T19:50:00.000+01:00

Miroslav Tichý lived like a hermite for decades in a small town in Moravia surrounded just by a few friends. Now in his old age he has to face the fame. “They should have come earlier, now it’s too late, I don’t want this.” he says. In the art world, meanwhile, he is presented as a fighter against the communist regime. The photographs are being sold for up to 12 000 Euro.

In the winter of 2004 I came across an exhibition catalogue about Art Brut. One page was dedicated to Miroslav Tichý. There was a picture of the artist and a picture of his work. He and his work seemed not to fit into the exhibition at all. I became curious and tried to contact the editor of this catalogue, Roman Buxbaum. Since he liked my last film Schwejking he agreed to meet up. He told me a lot of interesting things about Mr. Tichý and they seemed to be the best friends. Two weeks later I was standing in Miroslav Tichýs house and said: “Many greetings from Mr. Buxbaum.”. I was shocked to hear the wildest combination of rude words. That’s where it all started.

We began filming at the same time when Mr. Buxbaum started to work with great effort on creating Miroslav Tichýs fame. We decided to film on 16mm since Miroslav Tichý was a photographer, and like him who never threw anything away, we too used a mixture of old and new material. In his house we chose to film on black and white material because it is his world and that world is so different from ours. We concentrated not only on him as a person but also on the environment and the art world. There is a great discrepancy of how he is seen and who he is. And that was also the core task to find out who he really is.

We started filming in April 2005 and kept on till December 2005. Then the editing began. In fact we started already in December and worked, with some minor breaks, until Oktober 2006.
Soon we tried to build an elliptic story following some rules in a script of Jean Rouche. The film begins on the surface and goes deeper and deeper till it is very personal and historical, then the story returns to the contemporary situation which is now seen in a different light. And finally in the end the secret of Miroslav Tichý’s photographing is unveiled.
