Exhibition Wilderness / While we were dancing
The main hero of our story is human being and their inner experience of the threat of a climate disaster. We watch as humanity succumbs to the displacement of ecological problems, which resembles the proverbial music on the Titanic, giving us the hope of fools until the last moment. And it is up to us whether we reject it as mere selfishness and hedonism or embrace it as the only survival strategy of our species. The joint spatial installation of projections and objects by Petr Barényi, Pavel Hovanec and Gabriela Zigová is an immersion in life for the present moment, a celebration of the celebrations and (pseudo-)wilderness that our civilized life offers us (and alternately prohibits).
Today, we observe how great hopes and faith in the democratizing and uplifting possibilities of the Internet have turned into a nightmare of information chaos and humanity's descent deeper and deeper into uncertainty, strife and collective madness. Tomáš Rafa's video projection is a mosaic-like portrait of homo-sapiens in a situation where he lets this social-psychological phenomenon run its course. The climate crisis is subject to one of the strongest and longest-running disinformation campaigns in history. This is also why humanity's reaction is too lukewarm and too delayed. At the end of the exhibition, Martin Špirec's pseudo-museum anthropological installation looks for a point in human history where things went wrong, when man separated himself from the wild and lost his relevance to his natural environment.
