The programme offers the launch of a new translation of writing by Allan Sekula (1951–2013), a lesser-known but internationally respected theorist, historian, and photographer. The Czech translation presents two of his essays, Photography Between Labour and Capital (1983) and The Eternal Aesthetics of Labour Gestures (1996), in which the author explores the history of the depiction of mining and underground workers, as well as the industrial sector’s use of photography as a tool for the surveillance of manual labour and for the construction of the public image of industrial enterprises. Last but not least, he addresses the question of photography as labour, thus also providing an enlightening commentary on the current debate about artistic activity as work. The book is published by Display and ArtMap, translated by Ladislav Zářecký and Karolína Žižková
