This work consists of an audio installation and a video without sound, which play separately, in two rooms. In one room which is illuminated with a blue light, the visitor sits on a seat and listens to the audio with headphones. In the other a video image is watched on a small screen fixed onto the wall.

The installation contains the first spontaneous answer as to why I wanted to make art, but in an interdisciplinary way. It deals about the first moment that I remember. The memory is "divided" into an internal and external vision: the audio narration reveals my impressions as a little girl entering a theatre for the first time. The video shows images of a performance, taken from the Czechoslovak television which broadcast the spectacle "Spider" in 1987, to which I made a few changes in order to assimilate my memory.
