Last Folio exhibition at Unibes Cultural in Sao Paolo, Brazil

The latest exhibition of the Last Folio project opened today at Unibes Cultural, a cultural hub in São Paulo, Brazil.

This body of work, which I have spent more than a decade to compile, is a historical documentary and visual journey of Slovakia, my home country, in the early 1940s, specifically the period when the mass deportation of Jewish Slovaks to Nazi concentration camps took place.

While the project is rooted in a specific time and place, and documents a vanishing culture and a vanished people, it’s message of resilience and endurance in the face of evil remains a relevant, universal theme and one to contemplate more than ever in these trying, shifting times.
