Momentument: an experiment in creation, curation, and the space between
If you could paint a state of mind, would that be art, or just a moment?
Momentument is a 30-minute documentary exploring public authorship through collective creation & curation where no one is an artist outside of the immediate moment.
Set to the rhythm of the Prague's Žižkov underground, the film is part of the OBJECT:PRAHA series which aims to celebrate the subjective experience in creating together through community happenings, curations, and media.

Tyko Say is a writer, curator, and filmmaker based in Prague. He is the co-founder of OBJECT:PARADISE, a collective that organizes interdisciplinary community happenings and promotes the arts as an accessible experience anyone can take part in.
In his latest project, Momentument, this ethos takes shape in a celebration of the temporality of community art, where value is measured in time & space rather than aesthetic outcome. Like much of Tyko’s work, the film resists single authorship, focusing instead on what emerges when voices overlap.
Momentument is a film that not only captures the OBJECT:PARADISE Manifesto--perhaps better than any other films from the annual film series--but also contextualizes it in the place where it was born: Žižkov, a space where you can be both a foreigner and a local. It was a pleasure to work with so many artists and inspiring people for this project because it is them--our community--who brought the project and film alive. This film is dedicated to anyone who was never given the space to express themselves freely. This film is for the bad artists.
