| Description |
Straight Ahead Right Around the Corner: An Adult Video Store Nostalgia is a physical replica of the familiar X-rated movies aisle - both an adult department and a digital simulation in the shape of a computer game - that brings to life the virtual walk around the video rental shop. The game diminishes the differences between physical and virtual space and reveals the interactivity of both by using psychogeography and choreography of the physical body from the recent past and the "futuristic" one from the present. The work intervenes in the physical world with the help of objects related to fiction in contrast to the created virtual world, which was once real and now exists only in the online space. The exhibition project was created to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Brno House of Arts as a part of a group exhibition called “Tady a Teď!” (Here and Now!). The intermedia art group “INSTITUT INSTITUT” has created an installation in one of the rooms, it is in the form of an X-rated movies section of a video rentals shop, in a gallery room located by the main entrance and then…follow as the name of the work itself instructs. |
