Installation of the exhibition Žižkov 20

The installation consists of a banner. The banner depicts history. History is a story. How to understand history? How to show everything that shaped it? Its images, people, events, all the joys and sorrows that accompanied it?
I wanted to capture and present history this time as a flowing river composed of specific people and their personal stories related to place and time. It is not about presenting famous and significant personalities, who are what history is dated by, and about whom books are written; it is about depicting all those who lived here and shaped the history of Žižkov by their existence. The flow of time is made by us, ordinary people, it is a continuous line of events, images, and our specific fates.
From the perspective of the installation design, I wanted the exhibition to be easily movable or reusable at any time.
The banner serves here as a form of chronicle. The banner is always willing to show the story of Žižkov to anyone else who wishes to read it. The banner is chosen for its compactness, low production cost, and the possibility of further spatial work with it. It is shaped and modified in various ways. It is completed just as it was with all those who lived here and participated in this place. Spatially, it forms a continuous line winding through the hall, starting immediately after the entrance doors and ending again in front of them. A closed circle.
Walk around it and read, relive the story of Žižkov. You are also shaping it, and in another 20 years, you will find yourself on another banner. You shape it with your life story and your approach to the world.
What will the next one look like?
