Description
Aperture 152 Crossing Borders: Contemporary Czech and Slovak Photography Fall 1998 A new generation of Czech and Slovak photographers--heirs to the legacy of such modern masters as Josef Sudek and Frantisek Driktol--will be the subject of the August 1998 issue of Aperture, featuring images never before published in the West. In the Aperture tradition of investigating the contemporary photography of individual nations, Crossing Borders probes the cultural, social, and emotional climate of the post-Communist era as experienced by twenty-three photographers. The writings of such prominent Czech and Slovak writers as the novelist Jan Novak, author of The Willys Dream Kit, and the poet Anna Ondrejkova help to illuminate the full dimensions of contemporary creative life in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Photographers: Pavel Banka, Judita Csaderova, Bohdan Holomicek, Viktor Kolar, Josef Koudelka, Antonin Kratochvil, Zdenek Lhotak, Ivan Lutterer, Jan Maly, Pavel Mara, Pavel Pecha, Ivan Pinkava, Jan Pohribny, Jiri Polacek, Rudo Prekop, Vasil Stanko, Tono Stano, Kamil Varga, Peter Zupnik
