The photography book “308” captures ten years in the history of the oldest Czech art school through the lens of the school photographer. The 308 black-and-white photographs provide a chronological overview of life at the Academy from 2013 to 2023, ranging from official events and exhibitions to spontaneous moments and behind-the-scenes scenes. The photographs serve as a personal testimony that combines representative situations with informal moments. The result is a unique perspective on the Academy as a living organism that appeals to both “insiders” and the broader public.
