Jitka Hanzlová. Identities.

Jitka Hanzlová, born in 1958, numbers among the most internationally renowned women photographers today.
In 1982, she fled from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic to Germany and went on to study photography in Essen. Her biography forms the backdrop to her work’s central themes: exile, remembrance, and identity.
The ALBERTINA museum presents Hanzlová’s first solo show in Austria, featuring ten of her most important series from 1990 up to the present. The 240-page exhibition catalogue contains essays by Monika Faber and Walter Moser.
