Photography as a Layer of Memory

Abstract

I had an analogue camera as a child, so I enjoyed those experimental amateur beginnings where I discovered that the things I take a picture of won’t necessarily look the same way on film, and that the camera is an instrument I can work with, manipulate and abuse. This tension was something that interested me greatly, but I didn’t dare to call myself a photographer or to enrol at the photography department at Prague’s Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts.
