Annotation:

The exhibition follows on from the previous project (Emergence of the Utopian Myth, Station Contemporary Art Gallery, Bratislava, 2023), an installation dedicated to reconstructions of fictional historical events and projections of the future. The author demonstrates the role of images in interpreting reality, maintaining tradition and creating new fictional worlds. Through radical imagination, a combination of unconventional modes of temporality, critical analysis of media situations and authorial mystification, he mediates the processes of forming mythopoetic images and narratives. The multimedia installation invites to think about the genesis of myths and their re-interpretations, which are framed by disaster and utopia.
