Before They Touch

selected for open call, Fotofestival Blatná (20th edition)

My photographic project Before They Touch, developed as my first-year final assignment, was selected through an open call for the 20th edition of Fotofestival Blatná.

The work was exhibited alongside established and internationally recognized photographers, including Iwona Germanek. The festival also brought together significant figures in contemporary photography, such as Vladimír Birgus, Libuše Jarcovjáková, and Jiří Hanke.

This experience marked an important step in my artistic development — presenting my work publicly for the first time within a professional context and positioning it in dialogue with current approaches in contemporary photography.
