Antonín Kratochvíl’s images function as ecosystems where subjects and objects coexist without obvious causality, yet they reflect the inner state of those portrayed. This book presents a mosaic of twenty-two photographic stories with open-ended narratives, featuring the dinosaurs of today’s world: melting glaciers next to Vitali Klitschko, or water and land predators shaped by human intervention. Kratochvíl’s subjective photographic testimony brings into focus figures such as John Updike and Jean-Luc Godard, David Cornwell versus John le Carré, and many others. It also captures indigenous people along the Zambezi River, apprentices in a pear orchard, and the poetic essence of Czech bread.
What is it about Antonín Kratochvíl’s photography that soprofoundly provokes our minds? It serves as a testimony to the state of human relationships, a peripheral lens on a crucial slice of 20th- and 21st-century history—one rooted in the depth of emotion, captured by the keenest observer of human existence. His work is also a challenge to pull back our own divine curtain and glimpse beyond.
