Vladimír Ambroz
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.

Welcome to Oikos. Oikos is a house that breathes and hums. Branches grow through it, which, together with its inhabitants, keep the house running. Giants, bald mermaids, shape-shifters, crows with anthracite cloaks, Johan, inseparable twins, Erlenah, who locks the door with a chain, Ama, who knows all kinds of medicinal plants, Pragma, with problems well hidden under the carpet, Tarván with two fish tails, but also Diamon, a monster who takes on the form of our worst anxieties and fears. Alma, the author of this exhibition and book, also lives there.

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.
Christmas trees and decorations, robots and antiquities mediate our everyday lives since everything that cannot be invested in human relationship is invested into objects. Toys, ornaments, tools with their functional status is explored in formal experiments; in humorous displays interpreting the world with a subtle allure and providing an outlet for all kinds of tensions.
Vladimír Havlík
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.
Jiří Ševčík
In their introductory text Jana and Jiří Ševčík wrote: “There was a collapse of alternatives, a loss of interest and only a marginal position remained. Seen from inside, the problem East-West still exists. For the West eastern art is interesting only if it is compatible production or produce of victims.
Jesper Alvaer
Jesper Alvaer's videos in a compilation from 1999-2004 make up a compact unit following alike motifs and themes. The short films show everyday reality which the author designs or just simply records. They are related by matching the camera eye, a game in which a simple slit through the objective creates a new autonomous event.

For over a century, the factory in Střekov has influenced the structure of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. During the period of industrial development, Johann Schicht and his descendants built civic amenities in the city – a health center, spas, nurseries, a library, and residential buildings for their workers. After the company was nationalized, production continued and continued to employ a large number of newly settled residents. The national company Setuza also brought its employees together and enabled them to participate in "extracurricular activities," primarily in events organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, which included the organization of International Women's Day celebrations, St. Nicholas Day gifts, and children's camps.
Jakub Adamec
Contemporary curating has undergone changes. From efforts to build distance and protect a balanced reflexive position it has shifted towards empathy, cooperation and attempts to dehierarchize. Naturally, this is not always the case, but Jakub Adamec is a good example of the fruit that this type of curatorial work may bear.

The word "wee" is a Scottish synonym for "little." The title A Wee Bit of Heritage represents an attempt to provide at least a small glimpse into the cultural heritage of the northern Scottish town of Wick, with a population of nearly 9,000. The town used to be a strategic fishing spot and the main port of northern Scotland. However, the situation has changed in recent years. Herring stocks have been depleted for decades, crab fishing is no longer as profitable as it used to be, the nuclear power plant has been shut down, and one of the few things that still operate here and are attractive to tourists are the distillery, the nuclear archive, and The Wick Heritage Museum.
Jan Ságl
The camera on a tripod recorded women, men and children coming up on an escalator from the subway at Wenceslas Square from the then still non-existent underground station Můstek. Their faces reflect everyday commonness and their passive bodies are brought up to the surface in a continual stream on an escalator. Through those people Ságl showed the resignation of Czech society during the normalization period.
