A major exhibition by leading Czech documentary photographer Karel Cudlín brings together three decades of work capturing the dramatic transformations of life in Israel. A selection of nearly 200 photographs taken between 1996 and 2026 invites visitors on a powerful visual journey from the Golan Heights to the Sinai, revisiting many of the defining moments in the history of this ethnically and culturally diverse Middle Eastern country. Cudlín’s photographs are marked by an exceptional intimacy with everyday Israeli life. With a swift and inimitable photographic gesture, he cuts beneath the surface of the ordinary to reveal images of striking urgency and beauty—charged with tension, joy, vulnerability, and hope. Organized in cooperation with the 400 ASA photographic collective, the exhibition accompanies the first edition of Karel Cudlín’s eponymous photographic book, featuring an original text by renowned Israeli journalist and writer Tsur Shezaf.
