Jan SibIk
1989
In 1989, the world changed, Czechoslovakia changed and the lives of many of us have also changed.
After thirty years Jan Sibik is taking us back into the fateful moments of history in his book of
photographs. We are returning to the extraordinarily powerful and captivating moments that took
place in Prague, but also in Berlin or Bucharest. At the same time Jan Sibik maps the events that led
to the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia – and it is strange and probably characteristic – but these
photographs are not just a memories. On the contrary it forces us to think about everything that is
happening today. In the world, in the Czech Republic and in our own life…
