Beyond the city which we can see, made up of streets and buildings, there is a second space governed by motion, movement, time and, crucially, velocity. Creating such a rhythm is what makes the city both such a specific, prolific and historically important environment, and the opposite of self-sufficient, when it comes to the environment, or prone to consumerist culture. It is this (velo)city we enter and attune ourselves to every day; it determines the rhythm of our lives and, conversely, it allows us to participate in, transform and thus create the city itself.

This photography and video exhibition entitled\u00a0videos Cities and (Velo)Cities<\/strong><\/em>, which tries not just to illustrate but also to follow this velocity within its narrative structure, is divided into three parts, linked to the countries of the\u00a0Visegrad Group<\/a>:

(1)<\/strong>\u00a0The first section presents the basic idea of time and motion in an urban space, as interpreted by artists from Hungary.
Artists: G\u00e1bor Arion KUDASZ, \u00c1d\u00e1m MAGYAR and Gergely SZATMARI

(2)<\/strong>\u00a0The second analyses current urban conditions, and features authors from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Artists: Viktor VEJVODA, Paul CHANEY, Kate\u0159ina \u0160EDA, Jan MASTERA, V\u00e1clav KOPECK\u00dd, Ji\u0159\u00ed TH\u00ddN, Valent\u00fdna JANU, Aleksandra VAJD & Hynek ALT, Vojt\u011bch FR\u00d6HLICH, Ond\u0159ej MLAD\u00dd, Jan \u0160IMANEK, Vladim\u00edr TURNER, Yeoryia ASLANIDOU. Curator: V\u00e1clav JANOSCIK.

(3)<\/strong>\u00a0The final chapter focuses on visions of the city and cities of the future, using social media and digital photography as conceived by Polish artists.
