Miroslav Tichy's universe * is made of female figures -- the photographer captures women strolling through the city,
sunbathing by the swimming pool,
chatting with neighbours, or going shopping. Other women are photographed from the TV screen. Sometimes they are
unaware of the observer, sometimes unopposed, sometimes angry.
In a nearly obsessive manner, equipped with
self-made cameras build from scraps such as metal plates, crown caps, rubber bands, cardboard, scotch tape and plexiglass, 79-year-old Tichy has built a, ahem, body of work that will be shown at the Arles Festival and in Berlin.
