Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「Five years ago, @johanakasalicka_ph swapped her hometown of Prague for London during her studies, which resulted in a series documenting Central and Eastern European youth living in the UK capital. Returning home each summer to visit friends and family, Kasalicka began to witness a shifting landscape in Prague’s architecture, its residents and their collective outlook. New art galleries, cultural hubs and cafes began to appear and liberal attitudes were being embraced by the younger generation. “I started to notice differences that resonated with me,” Kasalicka tells Dazed. Through this compelling series, Kasalicka not only shares the real-life stories of Prague’s inhabitants and their quest to redefine tradition, but she also strives to dismantle stereotypes. In an image of Vlad and Robi, they’re caught in a gaze, reminiscent of the “resting bitch face” that Kasalicka says is often portrayed as an Eastern European trait. “This image depicts this stereotype perfectly and feels very real – Eastern Europeans are well known for their honesty and unpretentiousness,” she explains. The juxtaposition of traditional decor and their clothing, along with an LGBTQ+ flag pinned on the window behind them, works to challenge preconceptions about their identities. “It almost looks like an image from an activist campaign, which represents the vibe of the whole series.” See more through the link in our bio 🔗 📷 @johanakasalicka_ph ✍️ @aylaangelos」11月11日 2時14分
