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.

PARADAJS PHOTO FEST 2026
The international festival of contemporary photography PARADAJS PHOTO FEST, which this year became a member of the International Photo Festival Association (IPFA), invites audiences to the opening of its third edition on 5 June 2026. Despite receiving critically low state funding compared to previous years, the organisers will bring 17 exhibitions to the historic town of Banská Štiavnica, featuring artists such as Roman Franc, Dežo Hoffmann, Štěpánka Stein, and Lena Jakubčáková. Visitors can look forward to unique site-specific installations and a rich accompanying programme. The festival opens with a launch weekend from 5–7 June and runs until 5 July 2026.
