This exhibition at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art celebrates the diverse creative output of Petr Geisler (1949–2009), a significant figure in Czech-Japanese relations. It showcases his expressive calligraphy, multi-exposure photography from 1980s Japan, and his monumental inscription of the Buddhist Heart Sutra.
The exhibition 'GA-I-SU-RA' at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is a comprehensive presentation of the lifelong creative output of Petr Geisler (1949–2009). Geisler, a Czech Japanologist, translator, journalist, calligrapher, photographer, and educator, made a unique contribution to the development of relations between the Czech Republic and Japan. The show features his spontaneous and expressive calligraphy, created during his "idle moments" between work, alongside his evocative multi-exposure photography from 1980s Japan. A significant highlight is his monumental inscription of the Buddhist Heart Sutra, which previously adorned a wall of the Metro Palace arcade on Prague’s Národní Street. This presentation aims to be the most extensive display of his works to date, illustrating the breadth and depth of his artistic legacy.
