Guided Tour: Following the Line of Verticality

Artur Magrot, Mia Milgrom, Rudolf Samohejl, zweintopf

Together with curators Tomáš Moravec and Šárka Zahálková and the collective of participating artists, we will embark on an exploratory journey along the imaginary line connecting the areas of Letná, Bubny, and Palmovka.

The route explores a specific trajectory with an elevation gain of approximately 34 meters—a difference that fascinatingly corresponds to the combined depth of the Letná pit and the height of the Palmovka skeleton. This walk offers an opportunity to examine the subtle forces and pressures shaping the city and to discuss concepts such as "ruins-in-reverse," power structures, and the politics of things. As we pass through the Bubny district and Nicholas Winton Street, we will focus on the transformative processes of public space and the imagination associated with them.

Along this festival trajectory, we will discover the individual artworks together:

  • Mia Milgrom, in her sculptural intervention, examines the substrate of our everyday journeys, focusing on what leaks to the surface from the deeper layers of the urban landscape.
  • Artur Magrot will present a large-scale kinetic installation in the shape of an oversized table, underneath which we can conceptually hide like children from the risks and geopolitical uncertainties of today's world.
  • Rudolf Samohejl will bridge physical and virtual space with a speculative narrative about the future, revolving around the phenomenon of data centers and the manipulation of information.
  • The Austrian duo zweintopf (Eva and Gerhard Pichler) will use a text-based spatial installation to playfully offer new names and alternative futures for the concrete skeleton of the Nová Palmovka building.

The journey culminates at 6:00 PM with the festival's grand opening at Café Pauza, Palmovka.
