" Play " is a downloaded copy of  an original text of Hamlet written by using the Times new Roman font, size 12, available on the Internet. I have blanched all the dialogues in direct speech from the text, which creates a story. I have repeatedly print out the text on white bond paper, size A4 and adjust it upright into gallery space. The rest of the text remains black, visible, and describes author's instructions for protagonists about their movement on the scene, entering and leaving the stage. White,- the invisible text on the paper creates room or volume, content of which is more visible not only on this particular page,which is the basis for the scale, but also in the following cascade of pages. The whole installation can be considered as a tool, capable instrument to measure.

Two blank A4 formats attached to board, horizontally and vertically, function as a substitution of text and image at its most radical formal reduction. It is possible to perceive vertical format as an essence of text and horizontal as an essence of image.

The projection work " 2/3 " unlike the " Play " is based on direct discourse, in fact on a dialogue, consisting of two parts A ( diapositive ) and B ( negative ). The missing one third is again the attendant viewer. The installation of projector enables the presence of just one individual, because it has been placed very close to the wall, so that only one person can see and read the text properly. Part A ( black text on white paper ) alters the optically contrast part B ( white text on black background ) in a short time sequence. The dialogue plot is an argument of two ancient blind sisters, Graeaes, who share one eye since their birth. Originally they were three, but the witness of their quarrel is pushed to the position of the third one. Feriancova preserves the ancient monothematic language, which remains in the same level whether it is a banality or a situation leading to emotional collapse. The author also abolished exclamation marks in order to confront the viewer with " voiceless " scream, free from everything, including sound ( produced by Kodak Carousel ) - the most natural aspect of a discourse.
