Dominik Gajarský (born in 1986) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Anna Daučíková, Studio of New Media II), he also went on a study stay at the UdK in Berlin (Josephine Pryde) and was on a residency under the EIB Artists' Development Programme in Luxembourg. He expresses himself mainly through the medium of photography and moving images with a special feel for analogue technology including its history. He often makes formal references to modernist role-models, but simultaneously adopts a critical approach to the canons and hegemony of western culture, particularly in relation to post-colonial discourse, feminism and ecology. He regularly displays his work in solo and group exhibitions and shows in the Czech Republic and abroad, such as the Close-Up Cinema in London, the Czech Centre in Berlin or the National Gallery in Prague. In 2014 he was one of the finalists of the Leinemann Foundation Award, he is the finalist of the CJCH 2017. Besides visual art, he is also an active musician.
