Self-portraits with men
République Tchèque
2015
What would it be like if I had been born in another place, differently, to different people? What would I be like today ? What would my life be like ?
For me, photography is a means of communication not only with myself but also a means by which I talk to people, ask questions, offer answers, respond, feel, experience, and am active. For me, photography is a way of searching.
The first photographs from the Self-portraits series were made with people from my surroundings, with women who attracted me in some way, by their appearances, their lives, their behaviour, or their views. Later, I made self-portraits with men and families. I am interested in their ways of life, their values.
