The work of Czech photographer Jan Svoboda (1934-1990) "stems from 'art povera', and the minimal art of the sixties. His desire to simplify while retaining the inherent mystery in his photography, means that his images repay close study and can be returned to time and time again with increasing satisfaction. The subject is photography itself, so that while the objects portrayed can sometimes be imbued with a symbolic meaning this is not their primary purpose." - (https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/jan-svoboda).
