Jan Merta: „Dessert” at SVIT gallery

Black night. White milk. Choosy tongue. At the beginning, we are the same as at the end. Always in a good mood. So, let’s recap this: black night, white milk. Spectral analysis of the day. Pink touch. Sweet end. Body concentrated into one point. A gentle, exact hit into the nape is enough. Silence all around. Black milk. White night. Who is going to lick their lips?

Černá noc. Bílé mléko. Mlsný jazýček. Na začátku jsme stejní jako na konci. Vždycky v dobrém rozpoložení. Takže si to shrneme: černá noc, bílé mléko. Spektrální analýza dne. Růžový dotek. Sladká tečka. Tělo soustředěné do jednoho bodu. Stačí jemný, přesný úder do zátylku. Kolem je ticho. Černé mléko. Bílá noc. Kdo se olízne?
