Jarcovjáková's life began away from any international and national attention in communist Czechoslovakia in the 1950s. Decades before people became obsessed with taking selfies, the young woman began taking self-portraits in the mirror. And she never stopped. Her photos from the 1970s and 1980s take us into semi-illegal queer-clubs among factory workers, and into Vietnamese and Cuban migrant communities. We travel with her to Japan and West Germany. Photography became her way to express herself, a refuge within an oppressive system, and a pursuit of freedom and independence.
