  Fog | 2020

The Fog is an interactive app, where one can visit the model of Vlasta housing estate in Prague. The player travels through the history, to see the socialist version of an existing cultural house called Eden, standing on the demolished remnants of amusement park from 1930, also called Eden. Nowadays, the cultural house is long abandoned and next to it stands a hyper market Tesco, also named Eden. The player has a chance to go through these different perceptions of heaven, fun and history throughout this particular Prague quarter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ Excerpt from the PC game: Eden! On Earth! How lovely. They said here we would forget the struggles of today. That it's good here. Rest as it should be. Nothing complicated, I mean it honestly. That's what it is. Ordinary fun. The artists had peace of mind here. Nothing disturbed them, having a life without everyday worries, without politics, without snobbish art. Artists have created art for everyone. They had a full belly, home heating and cheap rent. Full belly till you are fed up with food. Till you choke from too much fun. Do you want to get out of the fog? Up there? What are you looking for there? Why are you talking to yourself? Probably because no one else is listening to you. But you certainly believe someone will begin. I'll be nice to you. This doesn't hurt anyone. You can just walk. You will see tanks, fog, bombs, Eden. You will ride on a roller coaster. I'll shoot you out of a cannon. Then you will see that the earth is not flat. And so we stumble around the world with a drunken step. One forward and two backward. When you sober up, you will run wonderfully. The winner is the one who arrives last.
