Tereza Bušková
Spring Equinox, 2009
Returning to pre-Socialist folklore rituals, this two-screen installation paints a beautiful surreal portrait of the Moravian rites of passage celebrations, which reflect not only the change of season,but also sexuality, fertility and the powers of rural mythology. In her late teens Tereza Bušková left the Czech Republic to settle in the UK, where she started to explore her interest in folkloretraditions in her artistic practice that spans film and photography. In contrast to many other artists from former Socialist Europe, Bušková’s work is celebratory rather than critical, surreal rather than documentary shedding a more positive light on the Czech condition.
