Exhibiton catalogue of the project UNADAPTED OBSERVERS. Outsiders and Outlaws.
During socialism, the status, function, and aesthetics of photography were remarkably similar across all former socialist countries. In the Central European countries that were part of the socialist bloc, there was also a unique collective organisation in the field of photography, as most photographers worked within the system of photography clubs. However, some photographers have worked outside the system and independently, some because of a particular approach to their work, others because of censorship or even a ban on their work. The exhibition project »Outsiders and Outlaws« focuses on those
photographers who stood out from the mainstream of photographic production in the former socialist countries.
