Petra Šimková’s “cruel-yet-gentle” photographic self-portraits are created as kind of intimate diary in which her body language reveals her innermost feelings, desires, and premonitions. Using digital photomontage, she combines her time-exposure nudes with photographs of natural structures and urban environments taken at two places closely associated with her life – Prague and the tropical island of Bali. The aesthetics and dynamics of her photo-images are deeply influenced by techno music, which for her is more than mere musical inspiration.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
