NÁRODNÍ GALERIE PRAHAHA - The exhibition presents the main strands of her rich photographic oeuvre: the first free cycles from Prague in the 1970s, dedicated to exploring her own identity, nightlife and the famous LGBTQ+ bar T-Club, are complemented by her works with the Roma, Vietnamese and Cuban minorities from the 1980s. The exhibition follows the artist, her successes, failures and search for herself not only in the former Czechoslovakia, but also traces her visits to Japan, her move to West Berlin, the fall of the Iron Curtain and her return to Prague in the 1990s.
The exhibition is open from 27 September 2024 to 31 March 2025
The exhibition guides the viewer through the archive and the contemporary work of the artist. The photographer is presented in a wide range of her analogue and digital photographs. Black-and-white and colour snapshots alternate with conceptually and typologically impressive photographs of random passers-by, friends, lovers and lovers and self-portraits, so typical of her work.
Exhibition breakdown curated Lucie Cerna, together with the architecture Anna Matoušková, underlines the themes of passion, desire, uncertainty, and above all inner freedom.
