jirí thyn

the photographic work of jiří thýn is characteristic by a reflexive conception of this medium. put in paraphrasis - they are “ photographs, that reflect their own reflection.” the author s strategy of reflexivity is a conceptualization of the technological frame. there are technical practises input into the picture( expositional stripe test, coloured matrixes of the photograms), that are aesthetically put on an equal footing with “classical” photographic image. thýn s attitude makes polemic with understanding of the picture as a frozen reflection of the reality. it makes it difficult for the spectator to read it simplistically as an objective reflection of reality and it draws attention to the medium itself, inside of the picture as well as on its installation on the exhibition. the equal part of his presentation are also installations, objects, or projections.
