OBJECT:PRAHA II

OBJECT:PRAHA II (2022) is a VHS documentary of a record being born and a neighborhood writing it in real time.



Directed: Tyko Say
Runtime:  28:36
Format: Digital, 5:4 (native NTSC VHS)


Shot on tape throughout 2021 in Prague’s Žižkov district, the film follows OBJECT:PARADISE as they build their second studio album, OBJECT:PARADISE Vol. II, through a series of language happenings, improvised rehearsals, and late-night sessions. The camera drifts between Baracca Records, bars, flats, stairwells, and street corners,  into one temporary, contemporary-dependent, ensemble.

In line with the OBJECT:PARADISE manifesto, readings are dragged off the pedestal and into the public.

OBJECT:PRAHA II is not a behind-the-scenes extra. It’s a parallel happening on VHS: a document of how a record, a district, and a community briefly become the same thing.

The film was released at the OBJECT:PARADISE event Thought & Beat January 28, 2022

About OBJECT:PARADISE Vol. II


OBJECT:PARADISE Vol. II is the audio core of that same Žižkov moment. Recorded in 2021 during the happenings and studio sessions captured in OBJECT:PRAHA II, the album tries to press a living event onto wax.


Seven improvised compositions—shaped by more than twenty Prague-based artists—move through free jazz, punk, street noise, and multilingual spoken word. Turkish, Czech, English and other languages overlap; homemade instruments sit next to saxophone, drum kit, and tank drum. 

True to the OBJECT:PARADISE manifesto, Vol. II treats poetry as a collective experience & situation rather than a finished text. It rebuilds the “dialogues of noise” that were muted by the Covid-19 pandemic and asks the listener to step into the room as another participant, not a distant observer.
