Shared virtual installation

As he jogs along Kobližná street, a text message beeps on his mobile. Pop into the library to borrow a book for the weekend and then quickly home. Checking his texts in the evening he finds a message from Jiří Mahen. A sample from his texts and confusion in his mind. After long decades a meeting with the writer who lived for Brno.

Sms with fictional message are sent from an important figure in history of the city to current residents in Kobližná street in Brno. There are created invisible monuments, which reminds present of Jiří Mahen in Brno.

„We believe too much in lucky coincidence and often talk about talented people. It is not such a simple game“ Mahen
