Ještě nejsem, kým chci být
I AM NOT EVERYTHING I WANT TO BE
Performance
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.
