About

Jiří Lehovec was a pioneering 20th-century avant-garde Czech filmmaker and photographer. Known for his innovative approach, Lehovec blended traditional cinematic techniques with experimental methods, exploring the surreal and often dreamlike qualities of light, movement, and form. His photography and films challenge conventional narrative structures, presenting abstract, visually striking compositions that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Lehovec’s work reflects the surrealist fascination with the unconscious mind and the irrational, incorporating symbolic imagery and distorted perspectives. As an influential figure in Czech and European art scenes, his work remains a vital part of avant-garde cinema and photography, contributing to the exploration of new visual languages and artistic expressions.
