Peter Puklus: One And a Half Meter

Peter Puklus is an example of a modern documentary author. Questions of an involved or not involved view, an approach based on revealing beauty, or rather importance of daily, even banal things — all that was solved before. The generation of Puklus can now focus on the complexity of documentary work. Everything around can be a subject. The Intimacy series contains several chapters systematically researching different aspects of this topic — a man as a source of the intimacy feeling, an inhabited interior, still-lives as traces of living. However, this almost scientific approach does not stop here. A single picture or one medium is not enough. Some photographs were made on the basis of drawings and are accompanied by videos. The whole series gains even deeper insight in the topic and literally one more dimension. (Zuzana Lapitková)
