RADIM LABUDA

Radim Labuda’s main means of expression are video and performance.

 

He is interested in psychoanalysis – fetishism and voyerism as distinct economies of desire. Related to this is another theme: his art centers around corporeality and its social representation. In this presentation, he also discusses his adventures in New York City, his passion for aimless walking and collecting of objects.

RADIM LABUDA
By imitating the gestures of objects and things that are already in the gallery space; by slowing down, pausing, lingering, alighting, unwinding... through these actions we can escape the entrenched trajectories we found ourselves on in the morning, rid ourselves momentarily of what we have already become, so that we can lose ourselves in thoughts of what we might be.
In our jargon, the somatic exhibition was called svät. Svät took place at the turning point of time and space, embedded in and at the same time separated from the world ruled by time, space, meaning, and significance. Entering the exhibition was a ritualized transition between the world and the svät, between two different dimensions of the same reality. Pilgrims were torn from their everyday lives and thrown into a sacred space-time, where their derailed minds were exposed to events that were unheard of outside.
