Anetta Mona Chisa: The People’s Utopia is the title of the installation created for the festival 4 + 4 days in motion in the former building of the Federal Assembly. The theme of this project is given by the geographical and historical factors of our country. The presentation focuses on art videos reflecting the remnants of our communist past and processes of transformation to a neo-liberal society in juxtaposition with archive video footage from the 1970s and 1980s.
The collection of videos does not attempt to present objective history, but is instead an outline of close events using narrative related to the circumstances surrounding the transformation of our country, which still remains a place of mythical identity that has not been profoundly reflected upon.
Presented videos:
Panel Circle (Jakub Geltner), Road Back (Klára Jirková), Spartakiáda ’85, Big Sister (Klára Jirková), Testo (Sláva Sobotovičová), Soc-ads, The Manifesto of a Futurist Woman (Zhrňme), Pano-run-ma (Viktor Takáč), City Steps (Jakub Nepraš), Loga+Prague (Jakub Nepraš), Spartakiáda ’80, Spartakiáda ’75, and others.
It was a washing powder or a softener.
I remember it.
"The People´s Utopia"
It is an installation within the festival Four Days.
This year we were able to exhibit here in this nice building
of former Federal Assembly, nowadays it is a building of National Museum.
For the first time we can make an art project.
That´s why we wanted to work
with the history of the building, memory of place.
We wanted to do a site specific thing.
I chose mainly works that refer us to the previous years,
or they may remind us of known things.
The installation should evoke deja vu feeling.
Klára Jirková - "Road Back".
Viktor Takáč - "Pano-run-ma".
It is a story composed with static photos.
Here you can see two video projections.
They are by Sláva Sobotovičová.
It is about dough that rises on the car roof.
It is a kind of transformation.
Jakub Geltner´s video called "Panel Circle".
Here you can see a beautiful screen.
It has a definite opinion.
Lucia and I did this video.
It associates with mass ornaments.
All of this focuses on the processes of transformation.
Here you can express yourself.
