After Dark
A young photographer living on the eastern edge of the Czech Republic, in a small town called Karlovy Vary, surrounded by open-cast mines and suffocatingly heavy snow. In any case, this is what the atmosphere of her images reveals, oozing a universe where the dazzling immaculateness of the white snow and the objects it surrounds fall into the black hole of night, which here seems to have no return and no end. No hope, however suspended, can emerge from Jitka Ertelovà’s universe. Her opus is worthy of the darkest of noir novels, where each photograph compels us to search for a corpse, certainly hidden here or there, slightly bulging out of this white, leaden surface... it’s up to you to find it.
