Performance
Brood – Stranger’s Vial – Womb is a “game that has forgotten its own rules” and “a story without an ending.” Instead of a clear, linear fantasy, it offers a fantasy space that we view through several layers of material and media abstraction. It makes everyday objects and (in)human identities special. It invites us to notice the affects of humanity in the midst of the climate crisis, which can only be glimpsed through peripheral vision, somewhere at the edge of gilded metal. Just beware: The sides will be reversed.
Jestrdej (1983), a silent black-and-white film bordering on video performance about the small everyday mysteries with classic film gag elements, accompanied by commentary in which he reflects upon his position at that time as an “Olomouc performer”. Thus the work Yesterday (1983– 2008) was created that opens a regular presentation of videos from the AVU Research Center video archive.
Kateryna Khramtsova filmed a short documentary about a non-binary performer and soldier entitled Qirim (2023), which has been screened at many film festivals, both here and abroad. In the accompanying essay, Kryštof Kočtář presents the film in the context of Khramtsova's artistic work.
