DEMIGODS
Vít Soukup shot Old Mates and The Silver Trail (1993) as two parts of an imaginary television series. Both stories are introduced by a television announcer who, in a serious tone, presents a chaotic tangle of banal interpersonal intrigue, as was the custom before genre-based socialist television series. Old Malina comes to visit his resigned friend Drudge, who denounces the vanity of life as a former member of the “coyote” generation of the nineties, deconstructed by postmodernism.
The exhibition is concerned with contemplative pieces that exist in themselves as unfolding inquiries, probes that fluidly transition from the quotidian to the exceptional utilizing technical means as a virtual haptic pathway inviting us to delve deeper, to consider and reconsider.
