“Juliana Křížová and Jakub Vlček have decided to focus their attention on the
internal disposition of young people at the threshold of adulthood which are under
the influence of often contradictory external circumstances. The cycle Transcendence
(2009) analyses and uncovers just this specific period during which we look back and
evaluate seriously our past for the first time in our life, while wishing to find
ourselves and our further prospects. Seeming misapprehension, disenchantment, social
isolation and other similar forms of mental confusion are almost self-evident parts
of such mental condition. Although it must have been very difficult to withdraw for
a while from such feelings and try to consider apparent life's vacuum objectively,
these two young people have created an impressive photographic cycle in which they
really managed the above mentioned challenges.” Mgr. Anna Vartecká, Ph.D.
