Abstract

A word from the authors of the exhibition: Courtesy of the author we were allowed to take a look at his archive of original photographs (by him enlarged on A4 documentary paper) from the 1980s and select the photographs for this exhibition. The collection is different from the author's thematic units in several aspects: The photographs have actually already historical character, originally they were not intended to be used for exhibitions.

The selection has not been conducted a priori by author, the guideline was not a unifying theme, but the inner content of the photographs, their internal drama. The exhibitors tried to express this approach and its meaning in more extensive accompanying texts.

Great presumption on our part is presenting all photographs with our commentary, sometimes emotional and spontaneous, sometimes with effort to a deeper formal content analysis. We would like to thank Jindřich Štreit for his patience and trust, our interpretations are neither guidance nor interpretation, they can not be anything more than subjective comments of people who have one thing in common - they are touched by stories in the photographs.
