Czech Eden

When he first visited the Czech Republic in the 1990s, Matthew Monteith was taken with the details of ordinary life in this country in transition. Captivated by the ineffable - a mood, a sense of place - he made repeated visits and in 2001 - travelled throughout the county photographing with the hope of creating a contemporary allegory that reflected ideals he had found in old postcards and Czech photography from the 1920s and '30s.
