The Photographic Estate of Dagmar Hochová in the Collection of Photography and New Media of the Moravian Gallery in Brno
Original language description
In 2013 the bereaved family of the photographer Dagmar Hochová (1926–2012) donated her estate to the Moravian Gallery in Brno. The estate contained around 3,500 positives and the photographer’s archive of negatives, comprising of 300–400,000 frames. The public image of Dagmar Hochová and her work was shaped by the totalitarian regime. During that time the artist could show only the ideologically acceptable part of her work. After the political upheaval in 1989 the unpublished section of her archive provided material for a (re)interpretation of the artist’s canonical image and simultaneously a valuable record forreassessing Czechoslovak history and construing a newpost-totalitarian identity. Within the framework of these activities Hochová’s photographs were exhibited in London and The Hague. Experts are currently processing the so-called political segment of her archive capturing the period of the political transformation and activities in the newly established Parliament of the Czech Republic where the artist was a deputy at the beginning of the 1990s.
