“Pippett works predominantly in digital media, drawing inspiration from collected family memorabilia. From Czechoslovakia with Love takes as its starting point documents gathered by the Statni Bezpecnost StB (Communist Secret Police), operating in Czechoslovakia from 1945 - 1990. The document details the proceedings and 'criminal activity' the artist’s grandparents committed against the Communist state. This information has been made accessible by a Czech government agency founded in 2007 aiming to provide transparency, by returning the ownership of invasive and personal information to victims. Exploring this shift in power and information, the work connects through design elements, everyday life, humour and language.” ES
