Download or read book Iren Stehli Libuna written by Iren Stehli and published by Scalo Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost 30 years, Swiss photographer Iren Stehli followed the life of Libuna, a gypsy living in Prague, and her family. This book is a moving long-term study, a precise and close look at a life on the margins of Eastern European society under Communism and after the Velvet Revolution. It's a saga of love, tenderness, and pain, a testimony to Libuna's indomitable strength and lust for life. Not only an innovative and sensitive chronicle of the ups and downs of a woman's life, the rich details of the images in Libuna outline a history of everyday life and popular culture in the former Eastern Block. At the same time, pictures and captions represent an exploration of photography's possibilities and the ways in which it can preserve the intensities of the lived moment. Libuna is striking proof that photography's secret is neither sensationalism nor the concoction of flashy phantasmagorias, but the patient and humble search for images that transform glimpses of the world into small epiphanies, refractions of the world's ineffable truth.

Book excerpt: Josef Sudek is counted among the greatest personalities in photography this century. He was born in 1896 in Bohemia, and was severely wounded in the First World War, losing his right arm. In the early Twenties he founded, together with other photographers, the Czech Photographic Society. He made a name for himself with photographs of the reconstruction of Prague Cathedral as the official photographer of the City of Prague. He is known today for his mastery of still life and nature photographs. His lyrical, realistic photographs, often with a background of filtered daylight, direct sunlight or grey skies, are melancholy, elegiac and sad. His poetic vision takes the viewer into the world of Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Seifert.
