#4 Intimacy
The subject of intimacy is both tempting and at the same time dangerously popular, not to say populist. Apart from corporeal or erotic intimacy, however, there is intimacy regarding personal space and the objects and stories within this space, which has been the focus of photography from its earliest days. The visual record of this intimacy neither seeks attention nor wishes to provoke, instead it seems to represent the photographer’s quest to find balance in relation to the outside world, a quest for inner harmony. It seems appropriate that Josef Sudek, who is foremost among the classics of Czech photography to prefigure this notion of intimacy, was once dubbed by the Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert as “the great harmonizer”.

Alžběta Bačíková

While Alžběta Bačíková’s experimental approach to documentary puts the transparency of the filmic medium in parenthesis, this self-reflexive attitude does not operate at the expense of creating an empathic relation between artist and protagonist, subject and viewer…

Sidsel Meineche Hansen

One hot summer day, I happened to reach for H. G. Wells’s 1923 novel Men Like Gods. In it, Wells presents his idea of the world of Utopia. People here are precisely carved castings of ancient deities representing the ideal potential development of our society at some point millenia in the future…
