Original language description
Several writers have already noticed the similarity between the documentation of performances by Czech artist Jiří Kovanda and the photographs taken by communist secret police of those being followed. The photograph serves here to document contemporary art or criminal acts, which are not apparent at first glance. Two types of hidden scenarios were being played out concurrently in Prague’s public spaces: one led by the secret police, the other by unofficial artist. Even though they were based on completely different motivations, their photographs and accompanying texts show a number of similarities. We first have to learn to read the secret police records, just like the language of post-war art.
