Performance: This is not a representation

Come to Leire de Meer's public performance as part of the Fotograf Zone festival, which will take place on October 8 at Tempo in Smíchov!
Artist Leire de Meer (they/he/she) proposes a form of non-verbal dialogue in "This is not a representation". This participatory ritual explores the physical and political labor of holding bodies, reclaiming a sense of interdependence.
The audience will receive a set of instructions. The audience will be invited to gently wrap another participant in a vast white cloth, lift them together with others, walk in a circle, and lay them down. You may choose to be wrapped, to help lift, or to bear witness. Through this silent, repetitive cycle, the audience tansforms into a community, practicing a direct act of collective care and responsibility. The large white canvas, both tool and witness, becomes a shared membrane, a cocoon, a shroud.
No prior experience is needed. The artist will facilitate a safe and respectful environment for all to participate at their own comfort level.

FOTOGRAF ZONE FESTIVAL 2026 – Wild Kin
Fotograf Zone Festival invites audiences to its 16th edition, taking place from 1 to 11 October 2026 across several venues in Prague. Under the title Wild Kin, this year’s festival will explore questions of relationships, attention, and forms of coexistence in the contemporary world.

Michal Kalhous – Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory
The exhibition *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* presents a series of photographs created over the recent period. It is an experimental tool of synthesis and a search for a path to fulfillment. At the same time, it is a purposeful, captivating exploration of suddenness and their relationships. *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* is once again an attempt at a dialogue between inner experience and a higher, transcendent order.
