Derek Larson: Très Mall: Art’s Properties; Violence Entrepreneurs (2018 – today) – Czech Premiere at PAF Olomouc 2025 – Pinocchio Paradox 🤥 December 4–7, 2025 | Olomouc, CZ

Très Mall is an ongoing satirical animation series by American artist Derek Larson, set in a “dying American shopping mall haunted by ghosts of commerce and culture.” Within this surreal environment, characters drift through interviews with artists, theorists, and eccentric figures, interspersed with vignettes of everyday life caught in the continuum of late capitalism.

The screening at PAF Olomouc will present two episodes from the series: Episode 7: Art’s Properties and Episode 5: Violence Entrepreneurs, featuring appearances by Boris Groys, Emily S. Apter, Nicole Sunday Grove, Priyamvada Gopal, Steven Osuna and McKenzie Wark.
