The Electrical Enterprises of the City of Prague and Avant-garde Films
Krejčová, Kateřina ; PETŘÍČEK, Miroslav (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
This paper, based on archival and period media research, tries to describe the relationship between the Electrical Enterprises of the City of Prague and the Czechoslovak avant-garde in the 1920's and 1930's. The Electrical Enterprises of the City of Prague helped to carry out several exceptional film and intermedia projects through their regular advertising contracts, including the film Praha v záři světel (Prague by Night, 1928), Zdeněk Pešánek's light-kinetic sculpture (1930) or the short experimental film Světlo proniká tmou (Light that Penetrates Darkness, 1931). There are also screenplays in the company archives which have never been realized but demonstrate much about the relationship between advertising and art in the interwar period. The author emphasizes the role of the public's general fascination with electrification, artificial light in the modern city and new forms in the collectively shared public space.
