The sculpture installation, made of artificial materials and titled Antiholodeck, is a ‘staged’ comment on our mental landscapes. The installation depicts an end of combat scene, mise en scene of which is inspired by the Virtual Spaces series. The work bears the recognizable signature of the author’s aesthetics of unconventional realism, and connotes the idea of Holodeck, the holographic environment used by the Star Track characters for recreational activities and forensic research, yet omitting the element of interaction. Yet, although the visitor can not alter the setting by his wishes, he can participate in this theatre-like scenery as its keen observer, while trying to find his way through the scattered-around props. Here, the war phenomenon is treated as a social point of reference, a place of reminiscences, and as the collective excuse for our unconstructive flight from reality. One kind of mental imprisonment is represented by another intangible and unexisting reality. In doing so, Hraste uses the vocabulary of pop-culture, which perfectly suits his reading of war in the key of absurdity. The emphasis is on the irony of the depicted scene, which is, however, mitigated by the location shift, as the battle – whose participants are Terrestrials and Extra-terrestrials – has been transposed from reality to the space for game and humour. The usefulness of the construct is additionally put in question by the fact that, much like in the Nintendo games, the seductive appeal of this game - represented through its outcomes – as well as the danger of prolonged distractions, menace to put us in a position that is ‘out of control’ and ‘beyond protection’.
