Underground / Human Portrait - Rudolf Prekop

Underground / Human Portrait - Rudolf Prekop

For several years Rudo Prekop has been photographing studio portraits of personalities who have contributed significantly to the qualitative shift in our society in terms of culture, society, mentality, morality and humanity in general. Along with the book, a travelling exhibition of large-format photographs is being prepared. Generational confrontation in the line "upwards" – the parents of the portrayed, as well as in the line "downwards" – their daughters, sons, and eventually partners. The central figure is always a personality from the world of unofficial cultural and social sphere, or underground. A family mosaic of the gene pool. Typology of humanly exceptional individuals. The key to the selection of actors is my subjective feeling of respect towards the portrayed. Their "immortalization" is my personal tribute to these people. In this way, I want to create a diverse portfolio of personalities of our day and age who have shaped and are shaping the face of the socially independent scene.
