Book synopsis

From Now On Everything Will Be Beautiful is the first monographic book publication of Jirí Thýn, the most prominent artist figure of the post-conceptual wave in Czech photography of the 21st century. It maps his responses to the inflation of technical images and traces his gradual shift away from the narrative nature of the photographic medium to an exploration of photography as a means of contemplative and immediate creative action. In the past, Thýn has reused existing photographs, shifting their meaning through his interventions. This time he was invited to recycle his own images. For this purpose, together with graphic designer Adéla Svobodová, he selected and arranged the reproductions as a non-verbal structure in which the past is viewed through contemporary eyes-as communication between images that have come together from different times, which can lead to previously unseen, electrifying encounters.Jirí Thýn (b. 1977 in Prague) is a Czech artist who works in, and with, the medium of photography. Jirí Ptácek (b. 1975 in Prague) is an independent curator and art columnist. He has collaborated on dozens of exhibitions of Czech artists in both Czech and Slovak galleries. Between 2012 and 2020, he was the curator of Fotograf Gallery in Prague.
