Exhibition by Photographer Ivana Frolíková: Portraits

(Velký mlýn Hall)

The word “portrait” usually brings to mind an artistically rendered person. My Portraits focus on the animal kingdom. I love visiting zoos and capturing the faces of animals in various situations and moods. I often visit the Prague Zoo, but I’ve also been to other zoos in the country. The presented photographs are a testament to the beauty and diversity of nature, to which I feel very connected.

The exhibition will be held in the Great Mill Hall and will be open to the public throughout the Zažít Libeň program.

What could vibrate in and pass through the bodies of participants in such a group experience?
