The motif of the Celerist’s “coming of age” continues in the seventh episode, created for the Jindřich Chalupecký Award. Again, the external context provides an interior motive for the entire episode. The Celerist has finally scaled the imaginary vegetable social ladder and joined the avocado group. At the same time, he finds himself unable to fully sympathise with the new context; he experiences an existential crisis and decides to “come out” about his class and social background. Jansa himself comes from a position outside of the cultural centre. The need to change the social structure, the difficulty of which, in the art world, lies mainly in grasping what the art scene is talking about addressing at any given time, is also a critique of the mythology of work, sport and self-discipline as a tirelessly promoted opportunity for liberation, a mythology of equal opportunities. Here again, Jansa used recycled materials in the installation, mirrored boards from film sets.
