The exhibition is searching for photographic portrait in contemporary art, while perceiving man as a leitmotif, which becomes the main link between analog (film), digital and algorithmic photography. Against this background it reveals how the way we look at ourselves and others has changed over the last three decades. Is image and body a separate duality, or do they merge into one? Can I see myself through you? The exhibition seeks answers to these questions in the form of intergenerational dialogues between the represented authors. Artists of different generations approach the photographic perspective in different ways and thus represent the dynamic environment in which photography has found itself over the last three decades.
