Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 238 pages, 85 colour & 80 b/w illustrations, clothbound - In a unique fashion, this book presents and comments on a selection from seven photographic cycles by Václav Stratil. The central theme is the study of identity alterity. Most of the photographs, from 1991 to the present, were taken in public photography studies. They are distinguished by the constant transformation of the artist's identity through playful investigation or confrontation.

The book includes a short overview of Stratil's work; an essay by the philosopher Karel Thein on the subject of identity, image and the history of photographic documentation of the face; and a bio-bibliography. …

Lately his approach has become slightly more objective - through the use of language in site-specific installations. Cutting texts into a wall or displaying a story within the space, the artist creates a tension between reading and seeing, narrative and painting, the personal and public space.…
