An important topic in Lucie Svobodová's recent work is also the technical obsolescence of audiovisual media and formats, which is also led to her revision of her older works. The resulting reconstructions that Svobodová creates with the help of new technologies, not only touch the current question of archiving related works, but also open a discussion about the extent to which the pioneering works of Czech animation and video art are interesting for today's wider audience.
The colony in Ostrava called Bedřiška has belonged among the so-called socially excluded localities for a long time. However, Bedřiška does not show any features that most probably come to your mind when we speak about excluded localities.

The video of Milena's song works within the theoretical background of contemporary feminist thinking, namely with the legacy of cyberfeminism, which was formulated in the early 1990s by British feminist and cyberculture theorist Sadie Plant.

Jeans that are supposed to look used and worn out. In some sort of twisted logic people in rich countries, from where textile factories have been pushed in the competition for the cheapest labour, wear ripped jeans. They uncousciously show the true character of the conditions of its production. As if they were transparents of the impoverished, hung on the naked bodies of the narcissists of the richer part of the worlds.
