Michaela Králiková a Jana Ryšlavá: EYE’m

The world around you changes in the blink of an eye. Something pops up, something else disappears unnoticed. Suddenly, the observer becomes observed. Try to catch the uniqueness of the moment. But don’t take yourself too seriously. You have to look at the world with an open mind.

Are your eyes open?

EYE’m is a pop-up performance travelling through the factory. It is a form of considerate play, a natural interaction with surreal beings, which aims to create performative situations between festival visitors and performers. The interactions observed by the eye attempt to create a sense of safety and trust, opening up the question of what it means to be part of a whole.

The Transnational Artistic Showcase “Reimagining Realities” is an interdisciplinary collaboration residency that unites artists from in Slovakia and Ukraine and seeks to delve into complex themes such as wartime experiences, climate change, digital tools in conflict, resistance, and the profound impact of propaganda on memory and societal mindset.

The Reimagining Realities project is implemented by Tabačka Kulturfabrik n.o. with the support of the IZOLYATSIA foundation, Trans Europe Halles and Malý Berlín and co-financed by the ZMINA: Rebuilding program, created with the support of the European Union under a dedicated call for proposals to support Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors.
