“Czech Street Monika Full” (CSMF) is an emerging interdisciplinary phenomenon that blends a physical urban space in the historic district of Žižkov, Prague, with a performative music‑video series released on digital platforms in 2022. This paper investigates CSMF as a site of contested memory, gentrification, and digital‑mediated cultural production. Employing a mixed‑methods approach—spatial analysis using GIS, ethnographic participant‑observation, semi‑structured interviews (n = 27), and a content analysis of the “Monika Full” video series (12 videos, 3 h total runtime)—we map the reciprocal relationship between the street’s material transformations and the online narrative of the eponymous artist Monika Full. Findings reveal that (1) the street functions as a “performative palimpsest,” where historic signage, post‑socialist graffiti, and temporary installations coexist; (2) the video series re‑configures the street’s topology, foregrounding marginal voices and re‑authoring urban myth; and (3) the hybrid circulation of the street’s image across physical, virtual, and touristic domains accelerates a modest but measurable gentrification pressure, reflected in a 12 % rise in rent prices between 2021‑2024. We argue that CSMF exemplifies a new mode of “digital‑urban hybridity” that challenges conventional dichotomies between place and representation. Czech Street Monika Full
