Michal Ureš: Samaritaine blanc

The core of the exhibition Michael Ures (1978) in Fotograf Gallery are photos taken during his visit to Mexico. He sees all aspects of the country - Latinos pizzazz, covering both "southern" light intensity and aspects of the Mexican culture, whether they are garish colors or dense network of reminders on the spiritual essence of life, but he deals with them very carefully. His aim is not to make a document of the ways, diary or romantic-exotic excursion. He used the journey rather as an incentive to see that the non-everyday vision may start to discover things who are overlapped by routine, and he takes the exhibition as an opportunity to create a poetic essay about connections and relationships between images.
