Product detailed description
About the Edition
The 17 × 17 Edition is a collection of my original photographs presented in a compact, minimalist format. I print the photographs on high-quality Hahnemühle / Canson archival papers, with an emphasis on the long-term preservation of each work.
The framed version is mounted in a white bevel-cut mat and a natural oak frame with UV-protective glass. I personally sign each photograph on the reverse and include a caption indicating the place and date it was taken.

Story Behind the Photograph
Heroes of my life.
Václav Havel and Ivan Martin Jirous, known as Magor. Two elderly gentlemen backstage at the Trutnov Open Air rock festival, also known as Trutnov Woodstock.
Václav loved coming here whenever he was staying at his cottage in Hrádeček during August.
For me, the photograph taken on 23 August 2008 represents a symbolic meeting of two remarkable men whose lives were shaped by oppression.
Both were prisoners of conscience, both were persecuted by the communist regime. And both passed away in the same year, 2011.
They never gave up.
