  Salty Mascara | 2018

2018, solo show at Fait Gallery PREVIEW, Brno, curated by Laura Amann /// multimedia installation: video projection on fabric (10 min loop) & projector stand (metal) & objects (acrystal, metal wire, acrylic paint) & carpet & furniture (wood, mdf, metal, fabric, foam, glass) & melon chewing gums /// video design by Anežka Minaříková /// Valentýna Janů’s installation Salty Mascara is an exploration of our sensually nuanced perception when exposed to situations where it is not clear anymore where poetry starts and imagery ends. Karaoke. Subtitles. Audio descriptions. A sunset. Light therapy. Lucid dreams. Categories fade into each other in all of these situations. The written transforms into a melody. Words change image and imagination. Imagery is transcribed to read-aloud-text. Light becomes dark. Moods and states shift according to photons. The surreal feels real. Intimacy becomes alienation. / text by Laura Amann
