Kateřina Simerová – In the Dark

The large-format images of animals, often looking directly into the lens of the camera trap, are an evocative testimony to the nocturnal life of our fellow creatures, whose glowing gazes resemble lights shining in the dark. The archetypal impression made by the animal portraits contrasts with the dynamic music-video or street-art aesthetic of the photographs of dancers and masked figures. It is like an encounter, in one magical space, between the old rituals of hunters and the modern mythology and nightmares of the big city.
