HOLLOW performance

Brno, Czech Republic, 2019

dance cooperation: Michael S. Blaško

First of the projects from the Serie The Little Night Performances. 

Artistic expression through dance and movement in the scenography of depressing city-landscapes might to evoke the inner states of mind - depression or anxiety, which are so common in city life style. It is not sure if the reinforced concrete structure is stabilizited or not. If the man falls deep in the hollow in the ground or is be able to get out of there. Uncovered bodies tells about fragility and the  make up about inability to communicate with the outer world.

TOUCHES paintings, drawings

Series of painting and drawings which works with the touch of myself in the Separate reality/ reality behind the mirror. I tried to find me in the world of magic and symbols. 

THE MYTH OF THE BIRTH LA GORDA performance

Brno, Czech Republic, 2019

Semestral project at FAVU´s aula

projection: Woody and Steina Vašulka: Noisefields 1974

"The modern man needs a ritual. Through the ritual, we are working on the most exalted thing in ourselves. It is precisely because we lack the rituals so much that we are drowning in mediocrity ... ... I will express myself exclusively through the unconscious. I let it flow through the stage as freely as dreams unfold. I will ignore the intellect of the audience. I will not make the definitions of symbols available, I will simply use them in all their infinite complexity and I will let everyone interpret them on their own." Alejandro Jodorowsky

For my semsetral project I created performance in the platform of ritual. Spiritual transformative ceremony. I used general shamanistic methods and transform them to components of the 21st century, West world. Those component are closer to communicate with audience than to try the ancient native methods. But the effect should work the same. Remove the usual, rational way of thinking and percive the experience instead.

NOTHING COVERED BY SKIN performance, exhibition

Brno, Czech republic, 2018
opening 06/12/18, SUTEREN GALLERY

colective exhibition with artistic group Gravidity: Lucie Jestřabíková, Zuzana Štefková, Hana Magdoňová,
Michael Franče, Michaela Čížková

Underground - Suteren - Sub terrein in French - under the surface - inspires to open Pandora´s Box
to our Sub consciousness. Emotions and feelings covered deep inside of us is not easy pronounce
by words. They leak through the ragged cellar space, from its representative parts to darkest corners.
Explicitly but not descriptively we try to bring it to the surface. These themes with transform to the
intersection body-clothes-environment. Against the usual principle the gradual concealment of our
subconscious by the individual layers are used as an option explicit expression. Despite human body,
sculpture, photography, performance, clothes, leather, coats up after the particular environment of the
cellar space. Just like make up, we can cover up our true identity, but it can be also a way of expression
of our inner world.

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD TO A DEAD HARE performance

Prague, Czech Republic, 2018

performance: 14-16/11/18

"Zajíček v své jamce sedí sám, sedí sám. Ubožáčku, co je ti, že nemůžeš skákati? Chutě skoč, chutě skoč, a vyskoč!"

Performance "How to Explain the World to a Dead Hare" was created as part of the 2018 Prague Rooms exhibition (Exhibition of Czech Art Universities). Instead of presenting our work, cabinet of Performance decided to fill the time-space with the presence of performers themselves. Every concrete action transforms the space. Efforts to communicate with the living and the not-living. The inspiration for us is Joseph Beuys' work.

My performance was an interpretation of his performance "How to Explain the Image to a Dead Hare".Thirty-hour meditation during three days took place together with the audience. Nonverbally, just in the meditative state of mind i tried to communicate with audience (1 or 2 person) and explain questions which Beuys put in his work: Who is a Dead Hare? Why is a Hare dead? How to reanimate him?

ALBERTOV STAIR instalation

Prague, Czech Republic, 2018

Rendering the shade of the stair railing. Will it be more visible now? Does someone notice a strange shadow? Maybe it will stay invisible during the night and during the day it transform to a strange mixture of lines...

TOTEM PATH instalation

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.
