Apollo’s Tropic brings together Néphéli Barbas and Martin Herold in a collaborative project exploring space as a site of memory and transformation through painting, objects, and architectural fragments. The exhibition traces how layers of time and human presence become embedded in façades, details, and the marks of everyday use.
The exhibition is accompanied by Skin Replica, a photographic intervention by Lenka Glisníková. Fragments of image data take on a physical form and enter into dialogue with the surrounding space. Through this material translation of photographic information, Glisníková examines the relationship between the photographic image and its physical existence.
During the festival, THE DESIGN will present Apollo’s Tropic, a joint exhibition by Martin Herold and Néphéli Barbas (15 May–11 October). Alongside it, Lenka Glisníková’s Skin Replica (1–11 October) will be presented specifically for Fotograf Festival.

Infrastructures of Imagination
The exhibition explores how mythical and ritual narratives are reconfigured within an environment of data abstraction, distributed knowledge, and the aesthetic protocols of the present, and how digital culture shapes new forms of storytelling.
Michal Kalhous – Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory
The exhibition *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* presents a series of photographs created over the recent period. It is an experimental tool of synthesis and a search for a path to fulfillment. At the same time, it is a purposeful, captivating exploration of suddenness and their relationships. *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* is once again an attempt at a dialogue between inner experience and a higher, transcendent order.
FOTOGRAF Josef Sudek

After his death, a substantial part of his artistic estate was donated by his sister Božena to the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
