Anthill During our collective brainstorming of examples of works “beyond choreography” I proposed a video work by Matěj Smetana in which he built a pyramid out of sugar cubes next to an anthill and documented what happens.

Planting a Slovak artist into Czech soil A photo collage depicting the process of a performative political gesture - planting a Slovak artist into a Czech soil. As our Slovakian neighbours are facing a difficult political climate, we support our Slovak co-artist in a performative political gesture that is a metaphor of practicing empathy. We planted him as a small plant into the Czech soil so he can grow here as his own mother soil is not supportive for growth.

Paper Balls and the Pot This audio recording documents our collective process of selecting themes for Tier 3 – A Week to Think About: Themes.
Within five minutes, we gathered 21 topics on a large sheet, then cut, crumpled, and threw them into a pot to decide playfully — without overthinking or long discussions.
We chose this nonverbal method to avoid consensus and let chance and movement shape our decision.
Two topics landed in the pot and three nearby, forming our final selection (shown in attached photos).

Collective Fantasies During the week, we explored the diagram, collective fantasies, and playful interactions with objects. A strong emphasis remained on understanding how group dynamics function and how decisions are made. We dreamed, yet were also grounded in the reality of where we are at this moment, finding unexpected pleasure in creating a video with the objects.
