Libuše Jarcovjáková

The book accompanying the retrospective exhibition of the Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková presents the major themes of her photographic work over fifty years. Her first freely composed series produced in the 1970s, devoted to nightlife, her circle of friends, and the famous T-CLUB in Prague are complemented by the photographer‘s works devoted to the Roma and Vietnamese minorities. The book continues the chronological mapping of her photographic output, starting from her visit to Japan, life in West Berlin, the fall of the Iron Curtain, and her return to Prague in the 1990s. The individual texts that introduce each chapter are accompanied by interviews with the photographer and a series of essays. This is the first publication that presents the work of Libuše Jarcovjáková in a comprehensive manner.
