Primal Ritual - Rabbit Hole is a visual project by Ondřej Ševčík that invites children on an adventurous journey similar to the one experienced by Alice in Wonderland. Just as Alice fell down the rabbit hole and discovered a place full of strangeness, visitors to the exhibition enter a space where they can look at the world differently - more attentively, more sensitively and with more surprise. The rabbit hole here is a symbol of entering the depths of the imagination, where ordinary things turn into extraordinary and where everything around us is shown to be connected. 


Ondřej Ševčík works with the idea that there are ancient forces and patterns that connect nature, people and technology. According to the project description, Primal Ritual is about exploring the "primal forces that shape existence" and the relationships between ancient symbols and today's digital age. The artist uses light, movement and special technologies that can create patterns similar to those that humans have always observed, for example, in fire or on the surface of water. These are created through physical processes and feedback, a phenomenon that can be observed thanks to modern audiovisual technologies. Children can see how natural principles and the digital world interconnect and how they can work together to create something new and fascinating. 


The exhibition shows that everything is part of one big story. Trees, people, light, sounds, emotions and technology are all connected by invisible threads. The Primal Ritual project seeks to make these connections visible and remind us that we can sense them if we stop and look closely. In this way, children can gradually discover that the world is not just a collection of separate things, but functions more like a big spider web, where every movement or other change somehow touches everything else.
