Umělec pod kůrou lunaparku
Specifické dřevoryty kůrovců (Ips typographus), nahlížené optikou dobového estetického paradigmatu. Specifický prezident republiky, s úžasem pozorován, bez ohledu na paradigmata, natož estetická. Činnost brouka i prezidenta, glosovaná poznámkami pravicového pozitivisty Jana Stráského. Jan Stráský je: 1) ředitel Národního parku Šumava 2) bojovník proti dřevokaznému hmyzu 3) nejlepší přítel specifického prezidenta 4) přívrženec výstavby jaderných elektráren 5) ten, kdo nemá rád puštíky. Na procházce erozními rýhami dále provázejí umělec František Skála, ještě úplně jiný umělec Milan Knížák a záznamy Manifestu explosionalismu výbušného mrtvého umělce Vladimíra Boudníka. A ještě mnohem víc. V třaskavé směsi.
Amoosed!
A legend of Canada’s First Nation of Mi’kmaq says that Moose once came to men and made a deal on under what conditions it would dedicate its meat to humans. As the Mi’kmaq representatives guide us through Amoosed! we get to understand why humans have lost the trust of moose (and nature) and how they can regain it.
Six different people in different countries have changed their way of perceiving nature after they have encountered Moose. Initially, they all wanted to control or abuse them, but ended up changed by them. Can a single species change the overall sensitivity about nature and twist the current future we are heading towards? Are we allowed to interfere with the lives of others, even animals, and to what extend?
Sasha, the farmer at the Russian moose domestication station in Kostroma protects moose and only wishes for them to be free, but the calves are still taken away from their moose mothers at the farm. Moose are dying of malnutrition in Czech zoos while the experts on moose, who have never seen one live, describe how many years on average moose live and what kind of thousands of herbs they need in their daily menu. Then there are the bizarre Swedish owners of moose safaris who, although they love moose, keep them in captivity and show them to tourists.
As Mi'kmaqs slowly succeed in reclaiming their territories and rights, moose are succeeding in persuading us that we, humans, belong to the ecosystem, and we are all one inseparable whole with nature.
