Workshop «Mismatch», ver. 2.0 with public intervention

A city, like a living organism, has a pace of life that is unique to it, set by its inhabitants. The biorhythms of a metropolis emerge as residents interact with the city’s infrastructure and urban spaces. People, perhaps without even really thinking about it, are immersed in and influence these dynamics every day. Big cities impress with more rapid rhythms of life. They engulf passers-by with the polyphony of streets, anthills of wide squares and avenues. Smaller ones, on the other hand, are more measured and unhurried.

Artist Kateryna Mamchur studied the rhythm of the city of Dnipro and the speed at which its people moved inside it as part of her residency at Artsvit Gallery in 2019. The result of the research was a small-scale interpretive performance expressing what happens when this biorhythmic synchronization is lost.

Adjusting the settings to Prague, Kateryna Mamchur now invites workshop participants to practice slowing down their movement and to transfer this experience to a public intervention near the Palladium shopping center, where they will take part in the collective performance «Mismatch», ver. 2.0.
