#11 Performance
Performance art is a category regarded as one of the forms of the new conceptual art, which attempted to break down the original notion of art as a special artefact, to tear down its mould of a commercial commodity and to eliminate its physical, decorative function.

Pavlína Morganová will give us a detailed analysis of the relationship between photography and performance art in her theoretical essay. We will attempt to look at this relationship purely from the point of view of photography and will make a few comments on the gradual changes in the relationship of photography and other art forms, and its notable emancipation in the last twenty years.

Alžběta Bačíková

While Alžběta Bačíková’s experimental approach to documentary puts the transparency of the filmic medium in parenthesis, this self-reflexive attitude does not operate at the expense of creating an empathic relation between artist and protagonist, subject and viewer…

Sidsel Meineche Hansen

One hot summer day, I happened to reach for H. G. Wells’s 1923 novel Men Like Gods. In it, Wells presents his idea of the world of Utopia. People here are precisely carved castings of ancient deities representing the ideal potential development of our society at some point millenia in the future…
