What comes after the floods?

THE IDEA for an exhibition that would connect the past with the present came to the minds of several Prague photographers as they were cleaning their workshops after floods swept that city earlier this year."We decided to put together a coherent project that would show what happened in the past and today [in terms of flood damages] and highlight the activities of different charity initiatives," says photographer and curator of the project Tomáš Pospěch.The result of their work is an exhibition called Floods in the Czech Republic, on display in Prague until the end of October. It illustrates the damage recent and past floods have caused. On October 31 the exhibition will come to Bratislava, as part of the Month of Photography event.
