JOSEF KOUDELKA 1994
In the heady years after the fall of communism, statues of Lenin tumbled down all over the former Soviet bloc. Though this voyage was staged
for the 1995 film Ulysses' Gaze, it's fitting that it was shot
by Czech-born photographer Josef Koudelka. It was Koudelka's 1968
pictures of tanks crushing the Prague Spring that helped define Soviet repression after the photos were smuggled out of the country and published
anonymously. Koudelka spent three decades in exile before returning to his homeland to document the environmental devastation communism caused.
