Cesta do pekel Vaclava Vokolka - groteskowa opowieść o końcu pewnego świata
Václav Vokolek’s Cesta do pekel – a Grotesque Story about the End of a Certain World

Summary/Abstract: Václav Vokolek’s fictional collage (the work contains 13 paintings, four conversations, a sketch, two appendixes and a romantic painting as an essential comment) is placed around the period of railway development and conspiracies that accompanied it. The author invites the reader to a journey to the world, where, on equal terms, coexist residents of a small city with representatives of hell. Their superior – Luc, who runs the company called SAT a. n., is supposed to take control over it and, during the test drive on a newly-built railroad, father a successor. Although it is possible to find clues that help to identify fictional Téèín as Dìèín in the north of the Czech Republic, the work inclines towards a grotesque story about the irretrievable end of a certain world, which terminated the maintenance its natural landscape.
