The object called “The Revolution will not be televised” is a polyptich consisting of five parts, five images. The medium for these images is the altar of the 20^th century, a manipulative weapon and its ammunition, the transmitted reality (which received an even more prominent placing with the Second Life in the 21st century, the era of the internet). The essence of this object is directed towards this transmitted reality. The attraction of remote reality, compassion with distant events, the state that leads to emotional anaemia when confronted with nearby events and the awareness of self ... The intensely emotional and sensational from the reality of the couch at home … The comfort of safety provided by the bullet-proof glass of the TV screen overcomes the desire for taking risks that gives opportunities for change.
