The exhibition Escaping the Background Destiny at the 45 000 l gallery explores what happens to architecture after demolition. It asks why we want to save some buildings and tear down others, who decides their future, and what changes when we begin to renovate them.

Part of the exhibition is a participatory audio walk, which invites visitors to take on the role of caregivers at the imaginary Velký Špalíček senior living facility. The city block surrounding the gallery is transformed into a body that is aging, bearing the marks of both repairs and neglect, and demanding attention. Through historical and fictional voices, the exhibition reveals architecture that is existing, vanished, and never realized.

Kateřina Radakulan is an architect who, in her practice, combines spatial narratives, performance, film, scenography, and exhibition design.
