Michaela Pospíšilová Králová, In Between the Time
These collages came about as a consequence of my natural need to deal with accumulated memories, and therefore photographs, after several family members had passed away. I went through hundreds of photographs and found a surprising number of similar topics, situations and poses. In the resulting collages, people of different generations photographed at about the same age are allowed to come together in an impossible and unreal meeting in between the time.
People´s faces, gestures, and basic life paths repeat themselves for generations, whether we see it as something hopeless or natural.
About the artist
Michaela Pospíšilová Králová is a freelance graphic designer, illustrator and photographer. She was born in Prague in 1982, where she still lives today. Educated in textile craft and book design, she received her bachelor‘s degree from Opava Institute of Creative Photography in 2012. Following her own creative path rather than simply passing trends, her work takes its inspiration from the personal and political themes that surround her and resonate within. With a deep passion for photography, Michaela enjoys adapting and reinterpreting photographs through an amalgamation of collage, drawing, painting, and embroidering. In 2012, Michaela was awarded the ‘Special Prize of the Leica Gallery Prague’ (as part of its ‘Frame’ competition). She was named one of the ‘10 Must-Know Contemporary Czech Artists’ by theculturetrip.com magazine in 2015. In 2020, she was presented at the London Photographers’ Gallery Instagram. She is a co-founding member of Sisters in Photography club.
