This exhibition showcases a selection from Joel-Peter Witkin's work between 2010–2025, exploring his unique approach that blurs the lines between photography and painting. It highlights his contribution to contemporary art and prompts reflection on the body, memory, and the essence of an image.
Joel-Peter Witkin has been a pivotal figure in contemporary art for over five decades, significantly advancing photography's role within the fine arts. His meticulously staged images and dedication to the materiality of print challenge the boundaries between photography and painting, and between documentary evidence and constructed scenes. This exhibition, focusing on works from 2010 to 2025, presents a mature synthesis of his artistic philosophy. It represents a deliberate interweaving of genres, encouraging a slower, more contemplative engagement with each image as a significant event, rather than a fleeting impression. 'Rozbitý svět' (Broken World) offers visitors an experience of this deliberate pacing, restoring dignity to the photographic image. The exhibition underscores Witkin's exceptional standing in recent art history and explains why his oeuvre continues to shape our understanding of the body, memory, and the profound meaning embedded within visual representation.
Basic admission is 250 CZK, reduced admission is 180 CZK. Members of the DOX Club receive free entry but require prior reservation via a form. Ticket purchasing is available online.
