Triptych of Agata Schwarzkobler poster
10.0

Šelig's heroine Agata lives torn between everyday, real life and the eternal woman within her: a woman who connects Agata with the mythical, the archetypal, the forces of nature and the primal elements. The primal forces and energies of life intrude into Agata's everyday life of voluntary servitude or passive devotion. Agata experiences them as a possibility for a different existence, while Agata Schwarzkobler's triptych, with its depiction of Agata's double image, presents the viewer with the eternal mystery of human existence.
