Veronika Posledni

Is a Prague-based artist and master’s student at the Centre for Audiovisual Studies at FAMU. Her work unfolds through experimental film and photographic installations that trace the shifting boundaries between existence in digital space, the relationships between human and non-human life, and alternative ways of sensing and inhabiting the world. Through her practice, she explores how images, technologies, and mythologies weave together to shape our perception of reality and belonging.

In collaboration with her colleague Michaela Kozáková, she created the fairy-tale-like film And You Know What Comes Next, that is a surreal and comical reflection on the environmental crisis and the unending reproduction of patriarchal cultural patterns. Guided by the companionship of three elderly women, the film transforms anxiety into absurdity, earning recognition at several experimental film festivals. Drawing from posthuman theory and visual culture studies, her works often occupy a hyper-stylized space of in-betweenness appearing intimate yet distant, familiar yet otherworldly. These aspects peak in FUTURE DUSK, where the characters exist in escapist limbo navigated through sensory stimuli.

Her recent duo exhibition respect for escape (with Jiří Klimenta) contemplates the nature of objects and commodities that aspire to carry traces of past stories and nostalgia without the need to change through time, suspended instead in the peculiar momentum of an ever-expanding present.
