Design and Transformations: An Outdoor Photographic Exhibition by Vojtech Veskrna
September 12 | 8:00 am – October 24 | 5:00 pm
This outdoor exhibition by photographer Vojtěch Veškrna complements Design and Transformation. Stories of Czech Design 1990–2020, on view at the Czech Centre’s Bouda Gallery. Installed in the public space outside the Czech Embassy, the series offers a visually rich, behind-the-scenes look into twelve Czech companies where design plays a central role in shaping both products and identity.
Veškrna’s photographs move beyond polished final outcomes to focus on the environments, materials, and people that define contemporary Czech design. His lens captures the quiet rhythms of daily production, the tactile beauty of traditional techniques, and the innovation driving forward-thinking industries—from porcelain workshops and textile printers to medical technology and game development studios. This body of work reveals design as a living process—deeply rooted in craft, constantly evolving, and inseparable from the cultural and industrial landscape it inhabits.
Coorganised by the Czech Centre London and the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague UMPRUM. Supported by the Moravian Gallery Brno.
