Leica Gallery Praga

The number 13 seems to be fated for the photographer Lukas Dvorak. Even though, his book “XIII” was
published two years ago as a tribute to the many years of his artistic journey, the same named exhibition in
Leica Gallery Prague was a pure coincidence.

The exhibition is a retrospective overlooking nearly four decades of work by the contemporary photographer Jaroslav Pulicar (*1954) from Brno.

On view from March 4th to April 24th 2022 at Leica Gallery Prague.

In 1971-1981 Pavel Vavrousek documented Nova Sedlica, the easternmost village of then Czechoslovakia.

The exhibition will showcase a range of thematic, mostly autoportrait, collections from 1970s and 1980s, as well as recent work from the last decade which resonates with themes of age and care.

A retrospective exhibition of the Czech photographer Milon Novotny who would have celebrated his 90th birthday this year.

This exhibition was created as an homage to everyone who is or remained young, had wandering feet, and was enthralled with the outdoors. No matter if they called themselves tramps, woodcrafters, hobos, ramblers, cowboys, or Indians, or if they eventually attached a satellite dish to their cabins, they were all a part of the almost exclusively Czech and Slovak tramping scene – considered the largest subculture in both countries.

The Polish photographer Kuba Kamiński (*1985) repeatedly returns to Polish Podlesi and to Belarus where he immortalizes the life and work of local healers that call themselves “the whisperers”.

A group of six distinct personalities of Czech photography drew inspiration from the cross-country skiing competition Jizerska 50 that became the motive of their collective exhibition, each capturing the event through a unique visual conceptualization.
