"Winner of the 2016 'Prix Elysée', Martin KOLLAR’s new photo book, 'Provisional Arrangement', considers that which is temporary in a world made up of provisional situations and solutions.
'We are tenants of culture', wrote Nicolas BOURRIAUD, foreseeing a world of precarious inhabitation of ideas.
'I grew up in Czechoslovakia during the Communist era,' says KOLLAR, 'and with the motto, with the Soviet Union for all Eternity – which has been one of my few experiences with eternity... People of my generation fight against the void left behind the abandoned dogmas.' (© Martin KOLLAR)
It is this world that KOLLAR turns to, one of aborted eternities and slackened certainties – to situations which reveal the disintegra-tion of permanences, capturing their fall into the provisional." (publisher's note, © Mack Books, 2016)
Other photo book titles by Martin KOLLAR are:
'Nothing Special' (2008)
'Cahier' (2011)
'Field Trip' (2012)
