ABOUT THE SHOW
Best of Marketa Othova, is her first solo show to be held in Prague since 1998. Recalling her syntactic analogy, she has chosen to select twenty photographs from past series for this exhibition, recognising that, like words, each has its own signification and therefore when combined in a different order can create a sentence that conveys a new meaning.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Marketa Othova’s large-scale black-and-white photographs are exhibited as suites of images that create a lyrical narrative of nomadism, charting her travels between her native Prague and cities beyond. They are captured moments of transit: a glance from the window of a car or a train or a moment caught while quickly moving through the open landscape or absentmindedly walking a city street. The surface of reality, captured and frozen in the photographic image, gives Othova a rich base upon which to create seemingly subconscious but highly evocative snapshot reminders of a past which seems only just beyond the reach of personal memory.
