Through the Soaked Cloud
Gajdošová, Kristýna ; Konvalinová, Kateřina (referee) ; Bena, Julie (advisor)
In my work, I gather and process the memories and feelings I collect at and after rave parties. I perceive these parties as a kind of Temporary Autonomous Zone, enabling the expression and overcoming of painful and joyful, collective and at the same time individual feelings. Through the experienced situations, rave parties seep into my everyday life and aesthetically influence my perception of the post-subcultural world. For me, perceptions from dance events are more than just carriers or indicators of subculture. They are essential, formative experiences for me, which I mediate and use to create objects that help me communicate and reflect on my perceptions. Thus, I turn my interest to explore the effects of subcultures and the subsequent influence and infiltration into the current mainstream culture, in which visual perceptions are commodified and dissolved. The experienced situations before, during, and after the party become the intersection of my interest between rave culture and the contemporary art scene it is connected to and penetrates.
