"I moved to Prague, the 'Golden City', in 1994 to study at the Academy of Art. It was a mere five years after the Velvet Revolution and the 'City of a hundred spires' was a very different place then. Decades of communist rule still cast a long shadow over the city and its inhabitants and many of the historical buildings had been left to rot. The city was a jumble of sooty dereliction, blackened by decades of coal fired heating and many of inner city buildings needed wooden supports to hold up walls and facades..." // more at PANOS.co.uk

»I've been living in Prague for 26 years. On March 11th, 2020 I left Prague for Oberursel near Frankfurt to visit my parents because my father got very sick. On March 13th, the Czech Republic declared a state of emergency and closed the borders. My weekend visit expanded to two months and I took care of my ill father together with my mother. Corona has made caring for a sick person at home extremely complicated, plus there is the constant fear of bringing the virus home...« March 11th to May 6th, 2020⁠. ©Björn Steinz | 06/2020

In April 2019, Björn Steinz decided to document the sheer scale of the tourist phenomenon that has overcome Prague since the early 1990s when the city emerged from almost half a century of relative isolation behind the Iron Curtain. He’d arrived in Prague in 1994 to study at the Academy of Arts and had married and stayed in Prague since, making the city his adoptive home. Setting up a tripod in popular tourist spots and letting a long exposure on his camera take in the ebb and flow of the tourist masses, he showed Prague as a moving, flowing sea of people coming to admire its famous historical sites. One year and the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic later, Prague is deserted. Tourists are nowhere to be seen and for the first time in decades, the Czech capital is empty, briefly returning to a reality that preceded the arrival of mass tourism. Björn returned to the same locations where a year earlier he had jostled for space to set up his camera and photographed the eerily deserted streets and tourist sights.
