An exhibition of sixty black and white large-format photographs by prominent Czech photographer Pavel Baňka (1941). In Infinity, the viewer encounters pictures devoid of people, at a mid-point between landscape photography and abstraction. In the context of the modern and post-modern tradition of seriality, Baňka’s meditative and conceptual photographs point to the sometimes inconspicuous, sometimes dramatic metamorphoses of nature and the elements, and by using long exposures simultaneously explore visions dependence on the movement of the body in time and space. In this unique project Baňka has achieved a harmony between visual hedonism and philosophical and conceptual thinking.
