As one of the few graduates of photography, Jiří Thýn made his name outside the field of "pure" photography. In these times of digital photography Thýn analyses the classic analogue photo down to the smallest part of silver in its sensitive layer. He raises the technical procedures of photography itself (e.g. colour blocks or test strips) to works of art. Thýn acknowledges new aesthetic qualities seeking the right way to look at what is pictured, and he also rehabilitates the half-forgotten photogram. Therefore you should not expect another classical photography exhibition when visiting his presentation at PAF.
