Hommage à Fafejta
octobre 1972
Subjected to censorship in Prague, Zorka Saglova moved away from the city and produced a series of actions in abandoned locations.Saglova's political struggles, along with her activist works, led to her marginalisation on the public art scene of the early 1970s. This work documents an action in which the participants inflated around 500 condoms then left to float in the wind of a garden and an abandoned house. In the style of Land Art, nature was thus involved in the creative process. The action was a humorous tribute to Fafejta, a Prague-based pharmacist whose advertisements for his condoms featured the candid image of an inflatable balloon.
