ALBERTINA MUSEUM, VIENNA
Jitka Hanzlová fled from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic to Germany in 1982 and went on to study photography in Essen. Her biography forms the backdrop to her work’s central themes: exile, remembrance, and identity. This ALBERTINA exhibition presents ten of her most important series: Rokytnik (1990–1994) is devoted to the artist’s eponymous home village, while Forest (2000–2005) features the woods she knew as a child. Her portrait series in urban environments such as Bewohner (1994–1996) and Female (1997–2000) examine the relationship between individuals and their surroundings.
Hanzlová, born in 1958, numbers among the most internationally renowned women photographers today. She received the European Photography Award in 1995 and the Paris Photo Prize for Contemporary Photography in 2007. The ALBERTINA is the first museum in Austria to feature Hanzlová in a solo show.
The exhibition is on view from 11 July until 26 October 2025.
