Katalog k výstavě Pravoslav Sovak - Krajiny času. Museum Kampa 24.2. - 27.5.2018

This book explores gaps in communication, the boundaries of photography and language, and their interconnection in light of the fact that image and language are often complementary. If language and photographs are the most common carriers of our cultural experience, then this book, which discusses the limitations and pitfalls of both, is also about our human limitations and cultural constructions. Photographers, art historians, media theorists, and semioticians will find much of interest to their fields, but specialist knowledge isn’t required – the reader only needs to be intrigued by the functions of media, as it both expresses and confines human life.

Czech documentary photographer Karel Cudlin's black-and-white images of Gypsies, refugees, and Ukrainian workers reveal compassion and sometimes humor, but always depth. He has worked for leading Czech magazines and newspapers, and frequently photographs president Vaclav Havel. His past publications include a monograph and Izrael.
