This series of photographs captures Ostrava at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s—a city shaped by slag heaps, heavy industry, and the daily lives of its residents.
The images of the industrial landscape and the people connected to mining and metallurgy offer a unique visual record of a world that no longer exists.
Exhibited in its entirety for the first time, this collection offers an authentic view of the “besieged city,” as it was shaped by industry and its rhythm at that time.
