Terra Incognita

Curator: Martin Netočný

The Terra Incognita exhibition focuses on the historical role of the media sphere in the processes of territorialisation of nature. Through film, visual and intermedia projects, it will explore the relationship between imaging technologies and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the world around us.

The first part of the exhibition will highlight the power and historical determinants that influence the ways in which we observe, while the second will present projects that transform the process of recording, storing and reading information into performative, spontaneous events. The exhibition traces how imaging technologies simultaneously enable and limit our perception of nature and how control intertwines with an element of elusive wildness.

Díla Davida Blandyho, Haruna Farockiho, Sashi Litvinstevy, Alex Selmeci a Tomáše Kocka Jusky či Su Yu Hsin se v první kapitole zaměří na roli pozorovatele a na technické limity sběru a interpretace dat o krajině. Druhá kapitola nechá „promluvit“ samotné materiály – minerály a prvky obsažené v aparátech – prostřednictvím děl Kryštofa Brůhy, Ioany Vreme Moser a Augustiny Woodgate, která technologii přetvářejí v živý, jednající organismus.

Výstavu doplní mezioborová konference, kterou GHMP uspořádá ve spolupráci s FAMU v lednu 2027. Následná odborná publikace vznikne ve spolupráci s nakladatelstvím NAMU.
