Malcolm, 2015
​
During several months of living in Scotland in 2015, the author got acquainted with Malcolm. Graduate getting-to-know each other, stimulated by relaxing atmosphere, spontaneity and curiosity, led to friendship between the two. Thus, a series of intimate, (un)usual documentary photographs gradually arose, which present sensitive anatomy of Malcolm’s life. The series depicts the portrayed man and his every day environment in a fresh and relaxed way. Ana Straže changes between portrait and documentary photography in this series and at the point of the passage between the two types, a narrative poetics enters, which enables the viewer a completely independent reading of individual photographs and the series itself. Sincerity, homely feelings and as a consequence non-ambitiousness, reflecting from the photographs, present the undisputed qualities, which are her regular features and at the same time witness about author’s creative maturity.
