DITA EIBENOVA
Ostrava, Czech Republic
Untitled

Waiting in the darkened hall of spectators. The silhouette of a man walking
in the pitch blackness. A narrow beam of light illuminates his face. Shamanic
acts, the sound of feet running on a vibrating acoustic disc, an explosion of
voices and movement, the cries of beasts and various calls. In contrast to the
growling of the naked faun with its tail, shiny metal penis, and false vampire
fangs, the singing of an operatic diva standing on the balcony creates the melodramatic
effect of a film integrated into the spectators' environment. A random passer-by
wishing to lunch at the club he knew so well was taken aback when he suddenly
encountered a naked faun by the door he'd just opened. When it cried "Hello!",
the flabbergasted citizen was forced to take flight.
