GO GREEN ART

VIKTOR FISCHER / ALENA DVOŘÁKOVÁ
*1967, *1970

Alena Dvořáková and Viktor Fischer work together. They no longer individually credit their works of photography, instead now publishing and presenting their work in exhibitions as joint authors. They focus on documentary projects and act as the curators of photographic exhibitions. "The mission of our work is to contribute to clarifying our position facing the problems and fortunes of common people.
Our world is becoming smaller. Social, economic and environmental problems of others are becoming pressing problems of all. Our photographs are to contribute to the more specific ideas of the life in various cultures and to appeal to the necessity of appurtenance. We want to use our work to help convince ordinary people in this world to believe that they are important enough to help less fortunate people in their own society."
