Eutopia is an improvised video performance creating new architectural structures based on images from Prague and London. The theme is architecture and movement, and the way in which architecture shapes movement in urban structures, together with its ever-changing visuals. The latest composition is put togetehr from a series of isolated image fragments of the city environment, creating a new integrated space by means of a video composition (Eutopia = in translation “joyous place”). The performance takes place in two simultaneous presentations in Prague and London, put together in one image and simultaneously projected in both places.

Performed Nov-17 2006 at Školská28 Gallery Prague and St Martins College London

Alexander Hammid is an author of a famous 1930 short film ‘Aimless Walk’ (Bezúčelná procházka). This silent picture poem captures (seemingly) “aimless” walk of an unknown man through the urban peripheries of pre-war Prague. It is one of the basic works of the Czech avantgard film and furthermore, till present date it represents an up-to-date expression techniques and invites us for interpretation. It is a film where the pattern of the story is repeated and it shows the mythical character of a eternal “Prague passer-by”, the motives of disunity and look-like, improvisation and non-linear proces of perception and inosculation. The Periferie project is a syhtesis of video, film and live music. The authentic film material of Hammid’s film is complemented with new photo and video pictures, while enriched by and combined with ambient sounds and music shapes and forms.
