15×15×5 (Minisalon 1984)

An essay film on the limits of freedom framed by the story of a unique Czechoslovak artistic experiment from the Normalisation period. In the “Orwellian” year of 1984, artist Joska Skalník distributed wooden boxes around the Czechoslovak art scene with a call for unrestrained artistic play. The resulting works of 244 artists make up the unique Minisalon ensemble – a diverse and ambivalent image of the period. The film narrative likewise mirrors the ensemble’s diversity, seamlessly melding documentary techniques, animation, and television archives.
