Annelies Štrba

Shades of Time – limited special edition

Annelies Štrba has taken the lead in recent European photography. Pictures of her home and family keep a record of memories, which startles outsiders with the universality: of its intimate domesticity of house, kitchen, and sleeping children.

Her composition in this publication of 290 photographs confronts the intimacy of private life not only with places of catastrophe, like Kobe, Hiroshima, Chernobyl, but also with melancholy, mysterious landscapes, and impressionistic pictures of pure beauty.
