Jitka Hanzlová
Jitka Hanzlová (* 1958 in Náchod , Czechoslovakia ) is a Czech photo artist.
Life
Hanzlová grew up in a village in Eastern Bohemia. In 1982 she fled what was then Czechoslovakia / CSSR to the Federal Republic of Germany and in 1987 began studying visual communication at the University of Essen with a focus on photography. Shortly after the Velvet Revolution in 1990, she returned to her home village in the Czech Republic for the first time and began a first long-term project there, which became her diploma thesis in 1994.
Since then, Hanzlová has been working freely in series: 1994–1996 residents , 1997–2000 female , 1998–2010 Hier , 2000–2005 Forest , 2004–2006 Cotton Rose , 2007–2013 There is something I don't know and parallel to this until 2014 Horses .
From 2005 to 2007 Hanzlová held a visiting professorship at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts , and in 2012 she took up another professorship at the Zurich University of the Arts . Hanzlová lives in Essen.
plant
In all of Jitka Hanzlová's work, the autobiographical, memory and the question of identity play an important role. She constantly pursues the question of the relationship between the individual and his or her living space and at the same time explores the way in which home and its surroundings indelibly shape identity. Hanzlová tries to sound out her experiences through photography and thus creates a work that unfolds a poetic and at the same time truthful effect.
