"After Kytice" by Photographer Martijn Schmidt

A visual dialogue with the folklore of the Czech countryside by photographer Martijn Schmidt. Based in the Netherlands, Schmidt attended the University of Arts, Utrecht, where he specialized in documentary photography. His work is rooted in an engagement with the other, which often leads to a deeper understanding of his own identity. Through portraits, landscapes, and still lifes he explores how human practices, traditions, and beliefs are shaped.
