Bára Mrázková is visual artist based in Prague. In her artistic practice, she focuses primarily on lens-based media. In the past, she developed a collaborative practice with Filip Láb. In their work, they explored not only the spaces of Eastern European post-communism but also the photographic boundaries between documentary and fiction. Through further exploration of the fundamental aspects and phenomena related to the medium of photography and its relationship to reality, she gradually came to examine the changes brought about by the transition from analog to digital photography and, subsequently, its algorithmic nature. She is currently engaged with the material, ecological, and political aspects of the digital image. She focuses on the mechanisms hidden behind the mining of rare minerals, their processing, and the subsequent industrial production of the ubiquitous electronic devices that enable the creation of technical images. In her projects, she explores the process of image formation from data flow to physical materiality. She has exhibited her work at the Václav Špála Gallery in Prague, the Fotograf Gallery, the House of Arts in Brno, and the Czech Centers in Paris and The Hague, Julius Koller Society in Bratislava among other venues.
