    “So to say, I dealt with feminism without even knowing about it. In 1975 an International Women’s Year was designated and I was asked to create an exhibition on women in Martin. Of course, back then a woman was imagined as someone behind a machine, as a woman-worker. I was thinking very hard about how to prepare the exhibition. Finally, I inspired myself by different authors who wrote about women. I tried to find out how they perceived a woman in their stories. In the end I came to conclusion that each of those poets and writers perceived a woman in his own, different way.”

    “It was very interesting that my photographs were published everywhere. All of the university magazines Echo had my photos. Even though, they were the pictures of my relatives, all of them had quite surreal drift. Actually, the period in which we lived back then was also very surreal in certain way. The 1960s were for our parents extremely difficult years. We didn’t realize it back then, we mainly just rebelled and only knew, that something was happening and it was necessary to do something against it.”

    “Actually, I had realized one thing – that I wasn’t allowed to create a true documentary with my students, that I couldn’t document the absolute reality, which was happening at those streets back then. Anyway, I tried to create some kind of asylum with the students and I tried to teach them to relax and at least, create their own freedom. So, at school we started to make photographs about music or we made up different imaginary scenarios, which had nothing in common with the reality.”
