The Journey/A Performance
Slámová, Veronika ; Ruller, Tomáš (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
Between 1. 8. 2011 and 14. 8. 2011, from the center of Prague to the South, following the Moldau river, the Journey/Performance took place. The journey without specified destination. The participants were two artists Veronika Slámová, who initiated the trip, and Darina Alster. They took with them hand made pushcart, designed by Jan Jaroslav Sterec, in which they had hand made costumes, basic food and camping necessities. The aim of the Journey/Performance was to break free from everyday life and stereotypes, to find new experience, to travel without plans, mobiles, money, time and other modern utilities. Veronika Slámová and Darina Alster tried to find out if people are willing to help unknown artist/pilgrims. During the Journey/Performance the spontaneous performances took place based on the location, participants and situation. People were enthusiastic and serious about their parts in these performances. If artists needed help with or without asking people offered it to them, sometimes they had to refuse these offers. The journey was documented by using the photographs, video and text. Part of the journey was broadcasted live in internet radio Applaus.
