The Double

Narcissus and his reflection in the water, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray or today’s digital avatars – doppelgangers have fascinated us for centuries. In literature, film and visual art, they recur time and again, as evil omens, divided alter egos, but also as protectors. The exhibition shows how the theme of the double has evolved from ancient myths to contemporary technologies, both in the works of Czech and international artists, such as Bohumil Kubišta, Jan Zrzavý, Andy Warhol, Milena Dopitová, and Petra Oriešková, and within the broader contexts of philosophy, literature and psychology. Come and enter worlds where people encounter themselves – sometimes with fear, sometimes with relief.
