« BACK TO ACCOMODATION

THIS ROOM IS USUALLY USED BY THE OWNERS, BUT CAN BE RENTED FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS AS A WEDDING PARTY OR SIMILAR – WHEN ADDITIONAL ACCOMODATION IS NEEDED. THE ARTWORKS WHICH GIVE THE ROOM ITS NAME ARE A COUPLE OF DOUBLE PHOTO PORTRAITS BY CZECH ARTIST JIŘÍ DAVID, PART OF THE CYCLE OF THE SO CALLED „HIDDEN IMAGES“ EXHIBITED AT VENICE BIENNIAL IN 2004. THE TWIN PORTRAITS ARE THOSE OF THE FIRST TWO PRESIDENTS OF CZECH REPUBLIC, VACLAV HAVEL AND VACLAV KLAUS. THEY WERE CLEVERLY MADE BY SPLITTING REAL PORTRAIT PHOTOS – TAKEN FOR THE OCCASION - AND REASSEMBLING TWO LEFT OR TWO RIGHT HALVES. ANOTHER WORK BY DAVID, A LARGE ACRYLIC PAINTING OF HIS DIGITAL .......... CYCLE, IS HANGING ON THE BED. BETWEEN THE WINDOWS ARE TWO WALLPAPERS BY ITALIAN ARTIST FRANCESCO SIMETI, WHO ALSO MADE FOR THIS ROOM A WONDERFUL PROJECT OF A BLUE WALLPAPER INSTALLATION, WHICH WE HOPE TO PRODUCE SOON. A RURAL TONE IS ADDED BY SOME ANTIQUE SACRAL STATUES IN WOOD AND PAINTINGS BELOW GLASS, BOTH FROM THE SLOVAKIAN RURAL AREAS. THE INLAID CHEST OF DRAWERS IS EARLY XIX CENTURY, THE KILIM CARPET IS FROM TURKEY. THE BATHROOM, WHICH HAS FORTUNATELY PRESERVED ITS SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT TILES FROM THE THE 1920S, HAS A WONDERFUL WEST VIEW TOWARDS THE STREAM AND THE FIELDS, A CUSTOM MADE STAINLESS STEEL BATH TUB AND A SMALL COLLECTION OF SANDSTONE SACRAL SCULPTURE.
