The interactive spatial installation A devoured hedge burrows deep II features a virtual game that forges new avenues for aesthetic and environmental engagement, presented in the context of the city of Prague. The experimental and entertaining aspect of the game is presented as a possible way of facing complex issues of ecological catastrophe concerning the modern cityscape, where feelings of guilt and powerlessness often prevail.
The exhibition A devoured hedge burrows deep II is organized within the international project Islands of Kinship: A Collective Manual for Sustainable and Inclusive Art Institutions, co-funded by Czech Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, City of Prague, Czech-German Fund for the Future and the European Union.
