Neighbor

What is it like to live in a gallery? What’s the relationship between old residents and a new tenant like? Does it make more sense to use space for the purpose of a gallery or for living? Oldřich Morys is trying to get the feel of these viewpoints in Jelení Gallery.

Neighbor
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.
