Miroslav Tichý

A grainy, voyeuristic gelatin silver print characteristic of Miroslav Tichý's unconventional practice, captured using his handmade cameras constructed from cardboard, tin cans, and other salvaged materials. The image bears the hallmarks of his lo-fi aesthetic — soft focus, chemical stains, and scratched emulsion — lending it a dreamlike, degraded quality. Tichý's work blurs the boundaries between obsessive documentation and outsider art, elevating technical imperfection into a deeply personal visual language.
