The Changes of Slovakia/Documentary Report

The exhibition presents the selection of documentary photographic cycle The Changes of Slovakia in Stredoslovesnká galéria, same as the selection of its subcycles The Present Day Romantism, 1150th Anniversary of Cyril and Metod on the Territory of Great Moravia and From Tatras to Danube.
The cycles depict the character of the country and the way of life of people following the time­proven author ́s cooperation. The attractiveness and integrity of the documentary is provided by natural and partly differentiated author ́s preferences completing one Boris Németh tends to depicting the events with direct human involvement and Ján Viazanička prefers visual interventions, which people create in the country or on the street and leave it there. Their common photographic perspective brings bizarre, amusing but mainly true record of visual and cultural identity of present day.

The Changes of Slovakia/Documentary Report
The word "wee" is a Scottish synonym for "little." The title A Wee Bit of Heritage represents an attempt to provide at least a small glimpse into the cultural heritage of the northern Scottish town of Wick, with a population of nearly 9,000. The town used to be a strategic fishing spot and the main port of northern Scotland. However, the situation has changed in recent years. Herring stocks have been depleted for decades, crab fishing is no longer as profitable as it used to be, the nuclear power plant has been shut down, and one of the few things that still operate here and are attractive to tourists are the distillery, the nuclear archive, and The Wick Heritage Museum.
