This exhibition showcases the work of Swiss photographer Annelies Štrba, focusing on her profound exploration of family life through photography and video. The exhibition highlights her transition to digital animation and the creation of dreamlike, digitally altered images, alongside her photographic documentation of cities.
The exhibition delves into the oeuvre of Swiss photographer Annelies Štrba, who transforms the seemingly simple subject of family photography into a profound exploration of human relationships. Štrba's work transcends the mundane, imbuing her images with a tender yet powerful quality that resonates universally. A significant shift in her practice occurred in 1997 when she moved from traditional photography to exclusively using video and subsequent computer animation of individual frames. Through specialized technological processes, she creates mesmerizing suspended images, 'stills' from her films, characterized by ethereal colors and a sense of magical vision. While intimate moments of family life remain a central theme, capturing the simplicity and quotidian nature of these experiences, Štrba also parallelly explores urban landscapes she has visited since the early stages of her career. Her use of modern technology allows for visionary depictions of reality, some of which have taken on a tragic tone of civilizational threat due to political events, creating a stark contrast with her other works. The exhibition offers a comprehensive survey of Štrba's oeuvre, spanning from her early black-and-white photographs from the late seventies, presented in a slideshow format, to her latest series of color images featuring elves. A substantial component of the project, strategically placed at the exhibition's core, is a significant collection of video films. The artist works extensively with real-time capture, revealing to the viewer the source of her continuous way of seeing and the background to her use of artificial color in her suspended images. Although this significant photographer has been presented globally in numerous solo and group exhibitions, this exhibition in Prague is likely to be her first comprehensive presentation outside Switzerland.
