Crossing Václav Chochola's Path

An exhibition of Václav Chochola's works in the southern gardens of Prague Castle

[en] During my first stay in Prague in 1990, I’ve been introduced to the universe of Jan Saudek through an exhibition, mostly his work on bodies, showing their ambiguities.
This time, that’s another Czech photograph that I met in the southern gardens of Prague Castle, Václav Chochola, poet of the ordinary, of the daily things, and also the portraitist of his friends artists or of famous people like Emil Zátopek and Salvador Dalí.

Esta vez, encontrei um outro fotógrafo nos jardins do Castelo de Praga, Václav Chochola, poeta do ordinário, do cotidiano, e também o retratista dos amigos artistas ou de celebridades como Emil Zátopek e Salvador Dalí.
