Multimedia artist Tereza Kalousová’s first solo exhibition builds thematically on her previous work, which explored the possibilities of intimacy and corporality at the borders of the virtual and real worlds. In her latest video, she explores the distorted desire for proximity, which is projected onto an object that embodies protection, freedom, power and control – the car. For the artist, the car is not just a means of fast transport or a metaphorical reflection of human values, but an exoskeleton penetrating the innermost layers of our identity and accelerating our ability to adapt to the rapidly changing world in front of the windscreen. The video is thus a speculative ride in which the boundaries between things, technologies and subjects, between the heated outside and the mysterious inside, are dissolved.
The opening of the exhibition will take place on 14 May 2025 at 18:00 in the etc. gallery.
