Tomáš Chadim

Tomas Chadim (1973) is a representative of contemporary progressive landscape photography. Nostalgic tendencies in photography are strange for him though. Instead, he plays with photography by using digital manipulations, making collages, flipping.

Tomas Chadim graduated from the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava. He exhibited his projects in Czechia, Slovak Republic, Poland, France, Russia, Brazil, England, Serbia and Hungary.

He lives and works in Prague.

My statement:

I am searching out subtle evidences of the connections between landscape and human, exploring man’s sense of symmetry, which we can see all around.

I am also interested in exactly how we have come to be here on this part of our Planet. I am trying to follows the footprints that we left behind in the landscape. In so doing I am NOT interested in human being as an individual. Rather, I am interested in the whole of humanity as a community, in the whole human swarm and its behavior.
