Background information
"The unsentimental, stark, brooding, intensely human imagery by Josef KOUDELKA reflects his own spirit, the very essence of an exile who is at home wherever his wandering body finds haven in the night." (Cornell CAPA)
In 1988, Josef KOUDELKA published what was to become one of his most famous and canonical series: 'Exiles'. These gorgeously austere black-and-white images described the travels and everyday life of the peoples he encountered while roaming Europe. 'Josef Koudelka: The Making of Exiles' is an exploration of the genesis and the making of this photographic journey.
Content
Enhanced by numerous photographs that have never been published - in particular the photographer's self-portraits - and captions by KOUDELKA, it includes numerous archival documents (such as reproductions of his travel journals), thumbnail reproductions of the book's layout, an introduction by curator Clement Cheroux and an essay by photo-historian Michel Frizot, who spent hours interviewing Josef KOUDELKA."
