A movable object. A device that is used for magnetic resonance in hospitals. The device that in a mercilessness way reveals the health condition. Randomly ,,found displaced on a grit-place, loaded with its own past". The skeleton of the device is put into operation by a mechanical connection to a separate motor. The motion is slow, up and down. The previous scanning platen shifting slowly and continuously across a rubber belt along the upper three-meter platform frame of the machines from one end to the other one. The additional electronics for switching connected to the device deviates little from its setting and the machine frame finds in advance of the expected regularity its own rhythm. Thanks to these subtle deviations of movement the device seems to appear as a breathing living organism. In the Václav Špála's gallery there are heard rumbling sounds thanks to the device weight. The magnetic tunnel is protected on all sides by a two meter high glass fence. The fence is metal structure, in which individual segments are plugged glass sheets. Small cut panes of fine brocade cloth, the remainders, are stuck to all the glasses by a transparent self-adhesive foil. The round holes cut into the glass, width of the construction (counter the board motion on the upper device flat). The tunnel is invisible for me, floating over the moving device was born. Fixed with the transparent foils of enlarged black-and -white photographs of the Places of Irena Jůzová's childhood (the way to Dvorec and front of the Lechovice monastery). The invisible connecting corridor which appears between them arises above the moving device. The magnetic tunnel is a bizarre idea of space, distant memory, the contrast between life and death, or a glimmer ,,there is something unknown out there".
