The Czech representative at the Exhibition of Countries and Regions

In a two-round selection procedure for the representative of the Czech Republic in the Exhibition of Countries and Regions at PQ 2023, an independent committee (consisting of MgA Jan Bažant Ph.D, Mgr. Pavla Beranová, doc. MgA. Marie Jirásková, Ph.D Ewan McLaren, Martin Pošta, M.A. Simona Rybáková, Mgr. Tereza Sieglová) selected the project Limbo Hardware by visual artist David Možný from Brno, who in his own way resonates the most with the current pandemic situation and who portrays everyday locations in unique perspectives, creating intense and emotive experience.

The author himself along with the curator Pavel Švec give an insight to the understanding of his work: “The almost omnipresent film narrative gradually transforms into a mere indication and fragment provoking a viewer into an active participation. It is as if it were the viewer who becomes the lead role of the watched film, and the only one who can reveal all its metaphysical, mystical intricacies weaved with feelings of despair, void and pointlessness.”
