The Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP) presents the Iwan Baan: Prague Diary exhibition, showcasing architecture photography. Iwan Baan’s poetic image of the city carries a bleakness and neglect. It is not based on a picturesquely underwhelming likability, but a reality that must be confronted. Seven days with a camera in hand, on foot, on a bicycle, from a height – as is typical for him. On the move, in constant motion, yet time seems to stand still in his photos. Miniature human figures in stiff poses are asking for attention. The architecture near them is captured as if accidentally.

The title of the exhibition is based on the artist’s Instagram account ‘A diary of travels with the iPhone’. The idea of endless wanderings through the city from one end to the other, recorded in the form of a pictorial diary, has been part of the Prague exhibition concept since the initial idea of a joint project. The exhibition is therefore conceived as an imaginary urban pilgrimage, which is linearly permeated by four thematic levels – the first contact with the city, the center, the periphery and natural scenery. The visitor can intuitively walk through them, symbolically getting lost in various corners, discovering new places and returning to those notoriously familiar.
