I think you need to get out more, 2013 (site specific video installation).
Addressing the viewer, talking to myself, or appealing to a lover, I wander through an unfamiliar city (Prague) reacting spontaneously to my surroundings and narrating a stream of advice on how to live better. My persona fluctuates between the charisma of a motivational coach and the rant of a lunatic, combining deadpan humour with tragic tenderness. Displayed on a monitor in the exhibition space, the city around the viewer becomes a readymade which is philosophically and culturally scrutinised; usurping art with the richness and absurdity of being in the world. Made for Addendum* (*on the shortness of life)', Oct 2013 curated by Anna Clifford and Miloslav Vorlicek at Academy of Fine Arts, Prague (AVU).
