The subject of Superstill cycle is mainly a mapping of methods by which museum collections are traditionally designed and the influence of this tradition on the installation conceptions of art galleries. In pursuit of "museum management" the efforts to a didactic presentation of an exhibit on display, of a sample of the natural environment from which the object originates, and maximization of the educative effect can be undoubtedly perceived. In actual operation, it naturally leads to substantial manipulation of subject matter and its subjectivization using the selected type of presentation. However, adapting to different conditions and artistic endeavour to create work "with the ability to communicate" in essence create similar limits for the operation of contemporary art. The institute of gallery exhibition, as well as an ordinary museum format, can be seen as a kind of empty laminating and deadening conservation.
