STUDIO M NEDVĚD (VIEW WORKS AS INDEX)

Jana Šturdíková spent more than ten years photographing the life of various objects in an ordinary functionalist building in Bratislava designed by the Jewish architect Alexander Skutecký (1883–1944). From the boileroom to the lighting rod and in ten flats, she went looking for original elements that had survived the years since the building’s construction in 1936. She observed how they had been changed by use, how much they had been preserved, and what had been replaced. Hers is a detailed look at how the grand history typical of the countries of central Europe in the twentieth and twenty-first century – Aryanization, the Second World War, nationalization, restitution – has flowed through the building and how it is reflected in seemingly insignificant details that we are accustomed to encountering in our everyday lives. Texts by Tomáš Pospěch and Denis Haberland.

Metropolight is young Czech photographer David Gaberle’s debut publication. Although the book presents his first-ever comprehensive photographic series, the result feels eminently mature. The pictures were taken in hypermodern cities such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, Sydney, London, and New York. Gaberle observes alleyways, stairwells, parks, train stations, subway cars, galleries, and bridges, slowly revealing the hidden order that exists between the world of things and the world of people. In his introduction to the book, author Petr Volf writes: “The photographs’ range of color carries symbolic meanings, and the lights of the visited cities – whether natural, direct, or artificial – become lighthouses which make us feel safe.”

This book is based on documentary footage during the research stay of literary documentary filmmaker Barbora Baronová at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Over the course of 5 months, she conducted over twenty documentary interviews with prominent Australian artists, writers, filmmakers, activists, photographers, scientists and journalists, with whom she researched women's issues regardless of their cultural differences. All the women were portrayed by photographer Dita Pepe.

The Premonstratensian monastery in Želiv has gone through a series of transformations and upheavals since its foundation in the 12th century. Adjacent to the monastery church is a one-story convent with a square floor plan, where there is a large room with frescoes on the first floor – the former library. A concrete & steel shelving system was designed by architect Jan Šépka. For better organization and orientation it uses Greek numbering and customised letter embossed in concrete. Photography by Aleš Jungmann.

For last 15 years photographer Dita Pepe has been exploring ideas of identity and environment in two photographic series titled Self-portraits with men and Self-portraits with women. She seeks to completely assimilate into the lives of other people. The book cover uses a variety of her own signatures to underline the same idea of identity but using a typographic language.
