REALITY_chapter1: WELLBEING
Four performers represent typical halloween monsters: a ghost, an alien, a vampire, and a witch. These characters experience exclusion from mainstream society, which is characterized by oppression and discrimination, and are therefore forced to live on its periphery. Such characters form a simple metaphor for minority groups (queer, people of different skin colors, etc.). As a result, they sign up for a new reality show, seeing it as an opportunity to win a guaranteed rent coverage for two years.

The core of the project is true improvisation in the moment, based on both improvisational and theoretical preparation. The characters and their traits were individually created by each team member for themselves, while the dynamics between the characters were worked on collectively.

For each episode, the artist and journalist Olga Wawracz wrote a serialized essay in Czech.

REALITY_chapter2: THE DOOM
THE DOOM is a fictional documentary that deals with the phenomenon of people who emerged from a reality show. The housing crisis is no longer a concern for the main characters, so the focus shifts more towards social media, podcasts, and entrepreneurship. The film deliberately plays with contrasts – activism vs. apathy, humor vs. horror, cinematic craftsmanship vs. trash.

The film continues the story of the characters from the reality show REALITY WELLBEING. In December 2024, half a year after shooting wrapped, a series of documentary interviews with the participants and crew of the show begins, initiated by the Vampire.

Christmas dinner and football will solve all disagreements!


REALITY_chapter3: SHOWCASE
/solo exhibition Galerie TIC//vernisage 3.6.2025/
SHOWCASE, the conclusion of the REALITY trilogy, critically engages with the phenomenon of reality shows and the entertainment closely associated with it. The central video, set within an immersive scenography, becomes a speculative satire of a press conference. The audience is placed in the role of fans, while simultaneously finding themselves under a barrage of flashes. The dominant visual element of the installation is the harsh spotlight and camera flashes. These references to exhibitionism also allude to discomfort – the feelings that participants in any reality show must endure. Everything is veiled in the guise of a small/large show that must have been incredibly expensive, or at least appears that way.
