2026 Biennial
Miro Švolík: Môj život človeka (My Life as a Man)
September 23, 2026–January 25, 2027
Curated by William Messer, Independent Curator
The celebrated Slovak photographer Miro Švolík (b. 1960) created this body of work as a graduate student. Collaborating with his fellow students, he arranged them on the ground and photographed them in black and white from significant heights, creating whimsical compositions akin to collage or children’s paintings. Švolík’s text captions further animate the photographic narratives.
