53 images"I moved to Prague, the 'Golden City', in 1994 to study at the Academy of Art. It was a mere five years after the Velvet Revolution and the 'City of a hundred spires' was a very different place then. Decades of communist rule still cast a long shadow over the city and its inhabitants and many of the historical buildings had been left to rot. The city was a jumble of sooty dereliction, blackened by decades of coal fired heating and many of inner city buildings needed wooden supports to hold up walls and facades..." // more at PANOS.co.uk

67 images»I've been living in Prague for 26 years. On March 11th, 2020 I left Prague for Oberursel near Frankfurt to visit my parents because my father got very sick. On March 13th, the Czech Republic declared a state of emergency and closed the borders. My weekend visit expanded to two months and I took care of my ill father together with my mother. Corona has made caring for a sick person at home extremely complicated, plus there is the constant fear of bringing the virus home...« March 11th to May 6th, 2020. ©Björn Steinz | 06/2020

52 imagesIn April 2019, Björn Steinz decided to document the sheer scale of the tourist phenomenon that has overcome Prague since the early 1990s when the city emerged from almost half a century of relative isolation behind the Iron Curtain. He’d arrived in Prague in 1994 to study at the Academy of Arts and had married and stayed in Prague since, making the city his adoptive home. Setting up a tripod in popular tourist spots and letting a long exposure on his camera take in the ebb and flow of the tourist masses, he showed Prague as a moving, flowing sea of people coming to admire its famous historical sites. One year and the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic later, Prague is deserted. Tourists are nowhere to be seen and for the first time in decades, the Czech capital is empty, briefly returning to a reality that preceded the arrival of mass tourism. Björn returned to the same locations where a year earlier he had jostled for space to set up his camera and photographed the eerily deserted streets and tourist sights.

12 imagesVáclav Chochola (30th of January 1923 - 27th of August 2005) was a Czech photographer, began taking photos as a schoolboy and published the first pictures in 1940. He worked early with well-known colleagues such as Karel Ludwig, Zdenek Tmej and Karel Hájek, Kamil Lhoták, František Hudeček, Jiří Kolář, Zdeněk Seydl and František Tichý, who founded Group 42 during the Second World War. Chochola was best known for his portraits, which rank among the European-American photo classics. He portrayed Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Louis Barrault and Salvador Dalí, among others. In addition, photographs of his homeland are among his best-known works, especially pictures from occupied Prague during the Second World War. Chochola clashed with the communist leadership of his country several times, among other things because of critical images from North Vietnam and because he expressed his sympathy with the Prague Spring movement. Václav Chochola died at the age of 82 in a Prague hospital after a long and serious illness.

50 imagesGerman and Czech citizens commemorating the "Usti" massacre which took place 77 years ago. On July 31, 1945 German men, women and children who lived in the town of Usti nad Labem in the north of Czechoslovakia, were attacked, beaten and thrown from the bridge into the river. The Ústí massacre (Czech: Ústecký masakr, German: Massaker von Aussig) was a lynching of ethnic Germans in Ústí nad Labem (Aussig an der Elbe), a largely ethnic German city in northern Bohemia ("Sudetenland"). During the incident, at least 43 Germans were killed.
