The exhibition project by Petra Lelláková and Vladimíra Večeřová presents a collection of works created during a foreign study stay in South Korean Seoul between 2010 and 2013. Each artist stayed in Seoul in different time and worked independently. Therefore, we can see two different approaches to the same foreign environment. On one hand, the artists try to enter it unnoticed and merge with it, on the other hand they point out some differences that the two cultures they work with represent. Petra and Vladimíra express themselves differently, the first works mostly with video and video performance, the other uses more varied media forms (video, painting, photography, object).

In the second half of the 1970s, Ambroz was primarily engaged in performance, which he documented using the film besides texts and photographs, and in 1980, even using a video camera. For years, he was convinced that he had his own motion picture recording of his Air performance in 1976. But when the filmstrip was digitized in 2016, it turned out to contain something completely different.
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.
