A series of photographic collages made from mass-produced imagery printed between 1968 and 1989, found in second-hand bookshops and flea markets in the Czech Republic.

The collages are constructed by cutting and reversing circular sections of the original plate, revealing the image from the other side of the page. The title ‘Bohemians’ alludes both to the people of the former kingdom of Bohemia, located in what is now the Czech Republic, and it’s later reference to those practicing a socially unconventional or artistic lifestyle.
