A statement from the collective
On 16-06-2026, we were notified of the permanent deletion of the OBJECT:PARADISE YouTube channel. In a single, automated sweep, our archive of the Prague underground's history, poetics, and experimental film was erased. Furthermore, we have been explicitly prohibited from creating any future channels.
Under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), platforms of this scale are legally required to provide transparent moderation, clear justifications, and access to actual human review when a digital livelihood or archive is destroyed. However, even after consultation with agencies operating under the DSA, we have been unable to reach any human response from YouTube.
But as frustrating as this news is, it didn't surprise us.
In fact, it is the exact reason we formed the OBJECT:PARADISE collective in the first place — to curate and create collective agency in the celebration of public art. Today's platforms steal this agency from us through their algorithmic biases and automated content control, which directly conflicts with our Manifesto. So we decided to take the L and to do something with it.
We have completely redesigned the OBJECT:PARADISE Archive with four objectives in mind:
And, perhaps most importantly, to keep it free, algorithmically independent, and weird.
In 08-2026, we launched the beta version of the site to select users. The official launch is on 31-10-2026 at The Prague Microfestival, Kampus Hybernská, doors at 18:00.
Thanks for all the support.

OBJECT:VAULT is an interview series that started in 2020 with the purpose to discuss performance and poetics with community members of, and visitors to, Prague.
Each episode is recorded on VHS and posted to the OBJECT:PARADISE Youtube Channel. Since June 2023, the audio of the interviews have been presented on the O:P radioshow, OBJECT:PARODY and in KROTCH Magazine.
Since 2020, we’ve had the pleasure of talking to the following folks as part of the series:
In September 2025 we met up with artist Natalia Rożycka and discussed her recent exhibition H20HOMO at the Svétova 1 art space for the latest episode of OBJECT:VAULT

Natalia Różycka (1998, Łódź – Poland) is a Polish artist whose current work deals with the history of naturist sites in Poland and Prague and how their nature has changed to the present day. A residency at the gallery space SVĚTOVA 1 helped Natalia to explore the environment of these spaces in Prague more closely and confront them with her current research.
Natalia explores the boundaries between intimacy, lust, and social norms in her work. She captures these themes through a plexiglass painting technique inspired by the aesthetics of stained glass and the queer history of her hometown of Łódź. She seeks to capture the fellowship of queer micro-communities, fleeting moments of closeness, and small rituals that help her define her own space as a queer woman.
Last month we sat down with Keyvan Paydar (AT), an artist in residency at Prague's Meet Factory. Paydar is an artist interested in multi-media and interdisciplinary approaches towards art, and he is also a curator of the annual Grazer Impro Fest which our very own Sandra Pasławska talked with him about.

You can read more about his works and the Grazer Impro fest here: https://www.keyvanpaydar.com/bio.html
Last week we met with writer Alice Guéricolas Gagné (CA) who is interested in discovering the remnants of Samizdat culture in Europe. She will have an opening exhibition on her research and insights at SKLAAD Art space March 10th 2023.
One of the most extreme actions enacted from the OBJECT:PARADISE Manifesto happened in July 2022 at Přístav, Prague with action artist Adam Ritzke (PL) as part of our Summer OBJECT:SHOWCASE (2022) series.

Adam stood naked atop a mound ducked under the canopy of Přístav trees and pierced his body with 50 surgical needles.
Each needle was secured to a red string that was then attached to a large tree adjacent from him.
A group of fifteen or so people gathered to witness the performance. And although it began to rain shortly after Adam began piercing every part of his body, the public crowd watched in awe. Before Adam's makeshift stage, the action was screened live on a small TV as it was being filmed.
Once each of the fifty needles were pierced through Adam's body, a smile unfolded across his lips and he gently began to sway the distant tree, with the red string, with the fifty needles, with his naked and contorted body.
The day before the performance, we interviewed him for an episode of OBJECT:VAULT. The interview was strangely calm and warm, juxtaposing greatly with what we would witness the next day.
The video features also documented shots from Adam's performance which happened on July 23rd, 2022 near Rohanský ostrov in Karlin, Prague, Czech Republic.

They occupied the entire front room of Meet Factory in Prague, hanging from fixtures, towering on tables, and stripping their clothes off in the Sunday crowd. The performance was over an hour and a half long and spanned emotions of anger, pleasure, sadness, and angst.
In an interview with the duo, they said "the text is written in the moment, but it's not improvised--we work together and listen to each other". This was their last stop on their European tour before they traveled back to Poland.
As part of our Summer 2022 series OBJECT:SHOWCASE, we hosted performance artist Viviana Druga (RO) to perform at Punctum. The performance involved a mound of hay, a stack of TVs, and a gallon of paint.
Was Allen Ginsberg a rough hat or a big wig? We sat down with writer Mark Baker, founder of the Globe bookstore and author of Čas Proměn to discuss what the air in Prague was like after the velvet revolution and how being an expat in the 90s and running one of the first English bookstores in Prague was really like.
We sat down with poet Honza Dibitanzl, a prolific figure in the Czech slam poetry scene and who was also part of OBJECT:PARADISE’s August, 2021 event Excuse me, Žižkov.

We sat down with Prague-based photographer and performance artist Zara Wildmoons to talk about the role lightness and darkness in her work.

For OBJECT:VAULT Episode 8, we sat down with artist Palencar at her exhibition, titled Tempura that was held at Meet Factory. Palencar is a Baltimore born, Prague based artist, and a frequent participant at OBJECT:PARADISE events.

For OBJECT:VAULT Episode 7, we sat down with curator Gordon Stone from žižkovšiška and discussed Žižkov culture, the spirit of the Sunday soup and the importance of building a community.
Two weeks ago we sat down with author Johnathan Ledgard, a 2013 New York Times book of the year author, past correspondent for The Economist, and a novelist who is concerned with the relationship between nature and artificial intelligence.
He shared with us his thoughts on the relationship between hip hop & poetry, and how he experienced poetry as a traveling journalist.
You can purchase Johnathan's book Giraffe on Amazon: here
Mark Divo is a Zurich-raised conceptual artist and curator of the Dada tradition who has developed innovative concepts with inhabiting abandoned spaces. Divo stood behind the most vibrant and influential squatting scenes of the past two decades in Switzerland and elsewhere; founder of the first group behind Berlin’s legendary alternative art hub Tacheles in the very early 1990s, squatting houses and creating temporary museums in Zurich or Copenhagen later on, painting large murals in Vienna, Košice or Prague, Mark was spreading the idea of solidary and non-commercial culture accessible to everyone.
See more of his work at his website.
Last week we caught up with poet Adéla Hrdličková on the yellow metro line and discussed poetry and poetic moments.

We sat down with poet Michael Rowland at Prague Art Fair and discussed paint and word. Check it out here in our third episode of OBJECT:VAULT.

For episode two of OBJECT:VUALT, This week in we ran into a Žižkov poet in the potraviny, Alibek Kazbekov. Follow their work at @alibek.kazbekov
Our first episode of OBJECT:VAULT featured our very own Jaromír Lelek. He says, "a John Donne sweater would be very--you would see a lot of patterns, a lot of argumentative, scholastic, theological patterns, but it would still be warm and and hot and cozy and human.."
