PRAHO! exposition by Annamarie Čermáková

Can an interaction between the inhabitants of a city in a public space lead to a dialogue causing an artistic expression? And is there really a need to define certain places for the arts when we have common spaces / online platform that can fulfill the same function? The goal of this thesis is to give an insight into an artistic project I have been implementing into public space of Prague since Autumn 2021 which is based on the concept of present miscommunication of the arts and digs deep into the possibilities of starting a dialogue through the streets of the city. By using the city as a certain intermediator, the project aims to outline the potential of the place, to display the city as a kind of mosaic of intersecting lives taking place so close together, and to show different perspectives on the very same place. The aim of the project is to point out a kind of nuance of anonymous intimacy, which we all experience in the hustle and bustle of the metropolis on a daily basis and to investigate the potential of arts in public space leading to dialog.

THE PUBLICATION

So many relevant answers began to come that I started to realize that I would never be able to use most of them for the film format.

My intention was not only to use many of the statements I received via the project, but also to further work with them and to find a way how to point out art can sometimes be a collective work of people who do not even know each other.

Each publication has a square format, together they create another square. Each of them focuses on different season and is being publish on every equinox or solstice in 2022.
