There is some place in Prague
Prague is a magical place where I like to go back every time. I do this as often as I can. You may wonder why…..
For me Prague is a place that every time surprised me. Every time I can find new, interesting, intriguing place next to which I can’t pass by and which remains long time in my memory. It was precisely in 2009 when I visited Prague again now in the winter. This time sunny before city became a very tough, winter metropolis with temperatures below twenty degrees celsius at night. Frost cast out people to their houses, making extinct streets empty. Then I found the Memorial Of The Victims Of Communism, which in the day did not pay special attention to each other. In this emerging form of emptiness in the darkness, illuminated at a specific, terrifying way strengthened the feeling of fear. I do not know whether it was just such assumption Olbram Zoubek, author of the monument, but the fear of …. well …. of what? But not nevertheless before the bronze figures! For me, a man living in post-communist country is a symbol of persecution, expulsions and the harm caused to other people by the people in the name of “lofty goals”, this is a warning that this monument passed in a manner unusually emphatic this night. With some fear I want to present my photographs …….. literally as I saw it then.
