My choice of photographs by these two photographers and professors was not by chance. At first glance, their works comprise two independent units, but a second glance reveals that they are two parts of the same whole. For this reason, Vladim\u00edr Birgus\u2019s colour photographs, taken for the most part on the streets of the world\u2019s large metropolises, resonate so well with Jind\u0159ich \u0160treit\u2019s black-and-white images of the Bohemian, Moravian, and French countryside.
\nBoth artists share an inclination towards documentary photography. The stories take place both in the city and in the countryside. The rural pairs are somewhat closer to one another, and the photographer is closer to them as well, becoming almost a direct part of their private lives. People\u2019s relationships are clearly defined: Lovers. Partners expecting their offspring. Mother and child. A priest praying by a statue of the Saviour on the cross. Priest and baptized child. Drunken friends with their beers. Two workers at a funeral home carrying a bier with the deceased\u2026
\nThe big cities are full of people, individuals who remain distant from one another or who are better at hiding what goes on between them. Are they parallel lines or two intersecting vectors? How does one influence the other; what does he bring for or take from the other? What is going on between those two? Love? Friendship? Blood ties? Nothing?
\nThe interactions between the people in Birgus\u2019s colour photoraphs strike us as familiar. A sales clerk and a shopper. A beggar and passers-by. A man and his dog. Dog and dog. A boy and a bird. A man and his shadow.
\nBut what is it that unsettles us and forces us to explore these images? The photographs give the imagination free rein. They contain mysteries. Two women passing each other on a New York street. We see neither woman\u2019s face, but one woman\u2019s red coat and debonnaire silhouette and the other\u2019s black coat and hat and tired, bent figure subtly and clearly indicate youth and old age.
\nSometimes the interiors, exteriors, or items in the photographs provide a silent testimony as to what their users might have experienced. Man is omnipresent even when absent or anonymous.
\nThese different approaches to form and content combine to produce a strange tension. The interaction of these two ways of looking at interpersonal relations, at our relationship to ourselves and to the world around us, creates an atmosphere that encourages us to consider our place in this world, who we share this place with, who we are, and where we are headed, with whom and why\u2026<\/p>\n
