Beskydy Mountain, Czech Republic, 2018

Totem has always been seen as a stable, solid pillar, the center around which is accumulated the energy and prayers and through which is possible to connect with other realities. How can this stability be understood in today's fluid time, when does everything keep the mind away from the body? The Bittersweet taste of mysticism put on fallen logs, passed without notice. And then at the end of the way - colours and brush... DIY shamanism today.

RE-PRESENTATION performance

Prague City Gallery, Czech Republic, 2018

The RE-PRESENTATION was held as part of a collective performance within the Tomáš Ruller's Flash of Sustainable exhibition. It deals with the issue of our identity. Are we really ourselves? Or is that just a picture curved by the image of ourselves? What makes us move? Symbolic casting of the body and its shadow.

BAUBO performance

GASK Gallery, Kutná hora, Czech Republic, 2018

The performance Baubo happened in September 2018 as part of the collective performance Theatrum Mundi at the GASK Gallery in Kutná Hora. It is an interpretation of the Greek Goddess of the belly of Baubo. She does not have a head, her eyes are instead of her breasts and her mouth instead of a sheath. She communicates with other people or gods through her body, which use to be coarse and dirty. Even during this performance, the communication worked through the body. It was simple, provocative and challenging dialog. After that was interesting to confront the audience and the performer face to face.

INTO THE BELLY OF THE WHALE performance laboratory

Frankfurt a.M., Germany, 2018

The ten-day intensive performance lab worked with the theme of a labyrinth as a complicate and long journey of identifying your own soul, and then strait back in the form of explicit expression. In the result was created a different reality-space-labyrinth as a meeting place for performers/archetypes and audience.

ACT site-specific exhibition - instaltion/photography/video/performance

Frýdek-Místek, Czech Republic, 2018

opening 24/05/18, old textile factory

collective exhibition with artistic group Gravidity: Lucie Jestřabíková, Zuzana Štefková, Lucie Anna Přerovská

“When are we dressed, we pretend to be immortal: how could we die when we wear a tie.” Emil Michel Cioran

Collective exhibition as a possibility of artistic and personal encounter and confrontation of the theme of the act. The artists are thinking about this topic separately - in their own artistic work, but also together during the installation and performance. Here is created naked artistic peace responding to the specific space of the old textile hall factory.

Hana Magdoňová works in her interpretation the act more on the personal level. The exhibited works - personal texts or photographs, performance as well examines her boundaries of intimacy and she stands uncovered and fragile in front of the audience.
