LEGIONELLOSIS
In the realization of Martinka Bobrikov and Oscar de Carmen for space INI appears the a specific context of space, defined by, among others, functionalist huge window behind him bizarrely placed ventilation system where the authors have used to accentuate the audio and visual aspects of the "genius loci" . These for them at the same time became the basis for metonymic linking with EEA air conditioning as frequent carriers of infection such as " Legionnaires' disease" . This association between hypertrophied air conditioning systems and diseases resulting from it often is only hidden meaning generator leading to infections that are transmitted to the audience by the authors. Its acoustic attack based on homogenized acoustic signal, is perhaps transformed into a springing the sound of toxic waste. This unlike the parable, the strange metonymy which the authors offer us here, certainly might result in a rather aesthetic impact. However, the " infectious " threat, in a harmless form of acoustic waves in this environment where we breathe through a closed system an already eighty years old conditioning, induces “weird” feelings...
The exhibition was part Je ne travaille jamais project curated by Viktor Čech at INI Prostor in March 2014, Prague.
