The Territory
Josef Janošík
Over the past few years, I have been revisiting places where I grew up or just spent a lot of time as a kid, trying to make sense of their meaning to me and find the forgotten sentiment. Not only by my physical presence at these places, but also indirectly through the pictures of them taken by a camera. Which is, in fact, comforting in a way. To let go of control to a certain degree and leave the photographic apparatus to do the work instead. And maybe discover something hidden that may not be visible with a naked eye.
Josef Janošík (b. 1995) is a photographer based in the Czech Republic. In his work, he searches for and relives his childhood memories – however corroded and unreliable they may be. Exploring the limits of human perception is important for him in general as well as the elusive uncertainty that lies behind them.
