We are slowly unveiling this year's accompanying programme: Moments of Silence

28.06.2024

The exhibition of black and white photographs by Miroslav Hlinka from the series Moments of Silence will take you into the mysterious world of ossuaries. They will take you to places that are both accessible and normally inaccessible, and that bring you closer to the phenomenon of ossuaries, which were once quite common in European culture.  But this is not just a photographic documentation of places that are slowly disappearing today. Thanks to the play of light and shadow, the images have a deeper, artistic overlay. The author captures the ossuaries with sensitivity and allows their atmosphere to affect the viewer.  The exhibition not only reveals their unexpected and somewhat unconventional beauty, but also invites us to reflect on the age-old message of "memento mori".
