For the first time, the entire photographic documentation of the Russian invasion of Prague will be exhibited in public, presented in this Italian premiere at Forma, curated by the actual witness of the dramatic historical event: Josef Koudelka. Once again, exactly forty years after those events, Koudelka’s images return; their strength and humanity is still astonishing.In 1968, during the Russian invasion, a summer that was to crush any dreams of
“spring”, Josef Koudelka – a talented young photographer, born in a
small town in Moravia, who had worked predominantly in theatre up until
that moment – was in Prague. At dawn on 21 August, like everyone else,
he was on the streets, with his camera. He got down to work. He took one
photograph after another, continuously, simply because he was there, in
the city where he lived, the city he knew: “I was faced with something
that was greater than me. It was an extraordinary situation, there was
simply no time to think, it was my life, my story, my country, my
problem”. |
