Czechoslayvakia

Imagine a reality in which the Velvet Revolution — the last of the great local narratives — was replaced by a yaassified version of luxury gay space communism: Czechoslayvakia. TikTok users have been imagining a similar alternative state for years now, and they go into juicy details, creating the mythology of the imaginary micro-universe Floptropica. In their visions, traditional political systems are broken by an endless Badussy War, in which Kris Jenner or Deborah-Ali Williams (the owner of a Houston funeral home, who is consistently addressed  “Madam President,” chosen by several thousand people for her unique character) occupy an important positions as a war heroines. 

The Czechoslayvakia exhibition is a remix of Floptropica's means of expression with local icons that have the potential to play an important role in the penetration of this micro-universe into the Czech or Czechoslayva imagination. Many of the scenes interact with boomer imagination and one could easily imagine them decorating the covers of a once popular Czech neoliberal magazine Reflex. In addition to trying to follow up on attempts to physically materialize the creation of Internet communities, the presented images are the first outputs of a longer-term cycle, in which Jakub plans to smuggle specific political ideologies into microworlds gliding across the surface of reality TV.
