Earth Earth or soil as an artistic ethno motive reflected in mythology and rituals and contains knowledge about the place of humans in the world and the structure of the space. Earth is one of the elements of world creation, a symbol of the genus, a point of connection between plants, animals, humans world and the universe as the one organism.

Earth is a resource, territory, power. In the era of consumer society, the notion of the land of ancient civilizations replaced the notions of achieving mercenary goals. It provokes the mankind problems: from environmental problems to geopolitical disputes and wars.

The ancient archetypal symbol of the earth, fertile soil – a field filled with dots. The artist transforms this simbol into a game and proposes to create a discussion platform. Rule of the game - in your turn, put one dot. The goal of the game is to capture the opponent's dots. As opposed to players, the artist will fill the canvas with dots completely, raising the issues of preserving the earth's resources and the integrity of the territories.

Sprouts Installation of sculptures inspired by world of plant, by growing up organisms – often still invisible to our eye and by photographic work of Karl Blossfeldt. One important part of our landscape is the world of plants. We need them and we use them. We need them as a food and we admire their beauty. And in both cases people like to change their properties. We modify plants to make them more resistant or to look like more beautiful to us. During the ages people learned not to accept given conditions but to stimulate preferable conditions. Probably this is the origin of our “success”. If it is long term success we can only see in the future and all questions concerning ecology are related to it.

Last Meal On Earth Every five seconds a child dies because of hunger. Food waste, dumpster diving, party!  "Our civilization is slowly diying and we dont even have fun from it. Waste is flooding our planet day by day and we dont even enjoy it. More than 30% of all food is wasted, and there are still people who die just because they lack it. We care about the ''deadly'' impact of plastic straws but not the rest of plastic waste. Society is like a big herd that does just what is "intersting" or "cool" in that moment. Not what is best for the people - people diyng on streets without shelter, without food, without love. Lets have fun! Lets have love. Lets change this narative. Lets enjoy out last day on Earth - before we will be flooded by waste, before we die by hunger. Apocallypse is now and we have to enjoy it! This is invitation for last meal on Earth! It will be fun, no sad moments. We burry Earth with all property and with all honour – now, till we still have time.

Dawafer Audiovisual performance that is a personal experimentation of oneself within the digital world questioning physicality/materiality and its relation to the synthetic vs organic, real vs unreal, and the simulation vs the reality.

Energeia Wet meeting of Darina Alster and Kateřina Olivová, two performers, artists, teachers, curators, goddesses and singers. In relation to their destinies and corporality, they meet each other in many roles. They think through their body and actions. Each of them comes from different place to perform miraculous yet human female encounters based on their present-day social action in the feminist studio of old, new and all media. Transforming Energy - power, sexual, creative, my, your, our, their ... The word energy comes from the Greek word energeia, which means will, strength or ability to act.

Microbiome II Human body experienced through bacterial symbiosis. SCOBY is my friend, I want to be like him and to do something good. That is why I am more activist now. I want to be part of symbiotic culture. SCOBY is not worried, it is symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. We are looking for salvation from the doom land which we as humankind are creating from this planet. We want to buy our indulgence and we are chasing away our environmental grieve by consuming more eco/bio products and as byproduct we are accelerating the capitalistic greed. I have the deep wish to become another- to enhance the capacity of imagination of non-human. To be able to tune on level where the mesh of connections is not questioned. To become symbiotic part of the environment.

Icones In his performances, Claude Boudeau tries to explore the tragic dimension of the human being, reversed, pushed, or thrown on the floor by the loss of its human balance. Between rituals and rites of passage, Claude engages his body in a confrontation sometimes sensual, sometimes revolted, with its environment.
