LIVING ROOM

film genre animation

Existential depth of motives strenghtened by unbearably slow narration rate is present in the work together with ironic distance to horror genre. Inherency of these lines implicates provocative imbalance and strangly ambivalent spectating experience.

LIVING ROOM
Vít Soukup
“Our pseudo-lives were nothing but speech bubbles. We desecrated everything. […] We ground [it all] to dust,” says Vít Soukup as the pessimist Drudge in the series Old Mates. His approach to films was similar. He made works full of ironic references to high culture and low, and enjoyed using clichés in their raw state.

Most people imagine academic work as a slow march up the steep steps of the Ivory Tower. It has its clear hierarchies, formal organization, its rules both written and unwritten. It requires diligence, distance and conscientious work. All that is often true and at times necessary. Therefore, not many people think that theory would be riveting or exciting. But the work of Kateřina Svatoňová shows us that theory is, first and foremost, an adventure.
