In today's social climate, the line between folk horror and urban myths is as thin and winding as the old streets of Prague. In our most recent historical memory, we have seen them re-enchanted by the decline in tourism and repopulated by lonely figures of stray night walkers and people excluded from society. The age-old idea of art as a mirror that allows us to see lived reality from a new perspective comes to mind, or perhaps a distorted glass surface can deform shapes and create illusions.
