the panic room. 2021/2022 

2021… when I developed the light installation „the panic room“ .. I was thinking about the increasing brutality and aggression in cities, their places, squares and streets in public space and behind the curtains, in the private sphere..

In these days of the war in Ukraine exaggerated this monstrous level of political brutality and inhumanity. Under these shocking impressions I have revised the film „the panic room“ 2022 and dedicate this particular room to the children of Ukraine and the children of this world, because it is they who are mercilessly exposed to this merciless brutality of adults.

Accordingly, I am pleased that the premiere of this film took place on April 23, 2022, the day of the opening of the 59th Venice Biennale of Art.

A panic room is a special room protected against forced entry within a home, office, other private business places. The increasing brutalization of the society, growing aggressiveness and openly brutality demand the relocation of the panic room from the private premises into the public.

Clear spaces that not only point to this rampant brutality, consistently force this unacceptable problem into the public discourse and at the same time, offer people affected in public a space in which they can retreat and set the signals: I am being threatened, I am being harassed, I need help.
