Václav Havel has been in the spotlight since 70s of the 20th century as an artist, dissident, writer and later President of the Czech Republic living simultaneously many lives which seemed to be in contradiction. However, by following his conscience he turned a drama of his paradoxical life into a unique example of balance between politics and moral and ethics.
Directed by Andrea Sedláčková, this biographical documentary sheds new light on a unique archive collection with the underlining question, how can one person live so many lives? The documentary features never-seen-before footage of the both the life in power and the private life of Václav Havel and introduces it in the context of a complex historical period of Europe and the world.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
