Miroslav Tichý is not dead

Miroslav Tichý, one of the most reclusive and original artist of modern times has left us on april the 12th at the age of 84. Miroslav has been the punk hero of photography as he used to build his own "bad cameras" to use them in a very peculiar fashion. A phenomenal ante-litteram street artist , a poet of do it yourself prints and a true dissident of Czech socialist regime, this man has proved us all that art and free expression are not only dominated by commercial goals.
his body might have passed away but his legacy keeps us alive and kicking.
good night Miroslav, thank you for all your teachings.
