Úmysl obohatit holý mechanistický svět

Directing: Andrea Slováková

Synopsis

Prof. Petr Vopěnka is a worldwide famous Czech mathematician, author of many books concerning history of Math, geometry above all. He is an original thinker, connecting mathematics with philosophy. He has become recognized by the public for his invention of the largest number (the so-called Vopěnka's number) and for his brief career in politics - he was the first Education Minister after the 1989 revolution. His portrait works with fragments of everyday reality, trying to identify the abstract qualities that should inspire the spectator to begin a focused interpretation of the words that capture the personality of Vopěnka the mathematician.
