The game with existence is inspired by the work of Jiří Valach. I transferred the texts from Valoch's work to 9 billiard balls and then to the green playing area of the carambol table. The situation with two cues is an open challenge for the viewer to play a game with rules that are not given. A game in which a dream can come across reality, bounce to love, wait, or illusion.

The essence of the interactive game of Stano Masár lies in the idea of individual action and responsibility. Every blow to billiard balls brings a unique series of relationships, meanings and constellations. Love, time, illusion and reality play together. Masár's game, however, has no winner or end. The subjective situation thus changes to universal to philosophical. Both artistic approaches, along with other works, call on sensitivity, empathy and reflection of the values of the current existence.
