Janka Vidová
Janka Vidová made one of the first videos as a spontaneous student´s work when she was studying in the studio of new media at the Academy of Arts in Prague. The dream-like atmosphere evoked by the choice of archetypal motives (walking in the snow, white rabbits, old people, an idyllic landscape at dusk) was further enhanced by period visual effects (polarisation, colour manipulation, slow motion) and by music.
Pavel Jestřáb
The title Distressed refers not only to desperate working conditions and the condition of the workers, but maybe even to one actual product of textile- the sought after and fashionable „distressed denim". 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.
