OVER Journal
A project by PhotoIreland, OVER Journal launched its first issue in July 2020, and it has enjoyed a growing interest reaching rapidly all corners of the global market, from Zurich to
Los Angeles. The publication, billed as 'The Critical Journal of Photography and Visual Culture for the 21st century' is produced with the generous support of the Arts Council of Ireland.
OVER journal critically focuses on aspects often overlooked that affect the discipline, zooming out to observe the whole scene, to analyse what exactly is happening, what power relationships are at play. It is about preventing the repetition of obsolete and flawed structures, as much as highlighting the work of those who are constructively expanding what we still call Photography into new horizons. More than a portfolio magazine, it is a space for reflection on new practices, new ways of thinking.

Andrej Pešta – Baro frajeris
We’re opening an exhibition at the Fotograf Zone gallery dedicated to an extraordinary figure—not just in Roma culture, but also in the visual history of Central Europe: Andrej Pešta. His passion for documenting the world—and himself—has become a unique visual archive of Roma life during socialism. This archive has now been given a new frame by curator and visual artist Emília Rigová. The exhibition Andrej Pešta – Baro frajeris is part of this year’s Khamoro Festival of Roma Culture and will be on display at the gallery until September 18.
Maya Schweizer – The starfish
Video installation Starfish by the French-German artist Maya Schweizer is part of the Video Room curatorial programme, which has been running in the gallery's underground space since 2025. In form and content, it is designed to evoke the atmosphere of a small cinema. The aim of the project is to introduce the Prague audience to prominent personalities of the international and local film scene.
