Wandering Tradition, 2006
Tomas Džadoň’s log caravan, entitled Wandering Tradition, reveals the weak points of our freedom and unrestraint, which predestine us to the role of eternal nomads. Liberation and breaking free from the shackles of tradition and the straitjacket of social norms throw us into a vacuum, and closely following the initial euphoria, come nightmares in the form of lost identity and alienation. Are we condemned to an eternal search for drugs to sooth the resulting anxiety? To increase the doses of sought-after experiences and passions so that they drown out our elementary, yet insistent need to belong. At first glance, our quest for maximum mobility and the desire for permanence and roots could be fulfilled by a log cabin on wheels. In reality, this artwork is an allegorical vehicle of our longing and a questioning of the idyll of constant flexibility. Are we torn by these contradictions indiscriminately, or are there some places like Litomyšl where our pain from globalized homelessness can be soothed by a spa spring.
Open daily from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
