Berlin, we should talk 03 - Gabi Ngcobo and Las Nietas de Nonó
Jan Rousek, Tomáš Vobořil, Ondřej Doskočil
Words that become popular in the world of art often quickly fall from one side to the other. The words alone are not to blame. Some of them have an imaginative power which surpasses their real meaning. They become an incantation whose weight of imagination tilts the words over the edge of depletion. Decolonisation is one of them.
Jan Rousek
The author considers the video as a part of the decolonisation process within the framework of the history of Czechoslovak cinema. His conceptual method of work is based on the deconstruction and re-interpretation of original scenes from Czechoslovak films, e.g. Křik (Jaromil Jireš, 1963), Jak básníci přicházejí o iluze (Dušan Klein, 1984) and Dědictví aneb Kurvahošigutntag (Věra Chytilová, 1992). All these films feature stereotyped black characters.
