Renáta Pintérová is an artist who focuses on identity.
Not only the human identity but also spatial identity, her works have multiple layers.
She gladly disrupts social narratives, questions them, and examines their foundations.
That's why her exhibition presents videos of ritual costumes that are seen as identities we can wear.
There are masks and costumes, so they are identities in clothing that are also monsters.
Renáta Pinterová is interested in monster theory which was created in the 90s by J.J. Cohen.
It speaks about demons in various cultures, about their creation, why we're interested in them.
We present them on large old televisions that gain some content besides their digital features and
that turns them into digital elements formed into a shape.
The digital prints show ritual objects that can be considered post-apocalyptic and post-modern.
Another space gains contrast with a destroyed space that survived an apocalypse.
It has hyper-modern elements that accompany it.
All of these pieces speak about how Renáta Pinterová grasps these identities.
As an author on the border between multiple cultural and language identities, she feels close to this topic.
She also feels close to various theories, she's interested in studies of philosophy, sociology, and
theoretical studies, and maybe that's why she invited two curators.
This exhibition has two texts, one from me and one from Miroslava Urbanová.
We both present it with two different views.
