Responding through Gentle Anarchism is about searching for tenderness within the harsh reality of the world, and finding wit and exaggeration where one might otherwise feel like crying. It is about surviving in a city that has become a subtle battlefield of transactions—it consists of satirical jokes, wishes, sighs, and calls to action.
The installation, made of scaffolding and textile banners, balances on the edge of a cry into the dark, a social appeal, and a self-portrait.

Through slogan-like poetry, Matyáš thematizes issues of housing, techno-feudalism, the monopoly of advertising in public space, and systemic global crises. However, he deliberately avoids straightforward agitation, offering instead an emotional and poetic (/political) reflection.

Matyáš does not view gentle anarchism as a specific political movement. He understands it as a "vibe" (a feeling/atmosphere)—something that cannot be fully explained, but must be "felt." To this end, Matyáš has created the Gentle Anarchism Vibe-Kit. It is an artist's project in the form of a package containing various printed materials that help to understand the concept of gentle anarchism.

A more detailed guide and the Gentle Anarchism Vibe-Kit are available at Polagraph.
