Shadow, Blossom, Stone: Searching for Sudek is a photographic journey through Prague inspired by the life and work of Czech photographer Josef Sudek (1896–1976).
The first booklet, Stone, is a selection of previously unpublished studio photographs of stones by Josef Sudek. These enigmatic images became the point of departure for Barbara Bosworth and Emily Sheffer's exploration of Sudek's archive, life, and his relationship with Prague.
The second booklet, Shadow, Blossom, combines photographs and texts by Bosworth and Sheffer. Walking the streets, spaces, and gardens that Sudek knew so well, they explore the lasting presence of place, memory, and light.
Through photographs, essays, and archival research, Shadow, Blossom, Stone: Searching for Sudek, celebrates the poetic legacy of Josef Sudek while embracing the possibility of discovering new ways of seeing.
