David Těšínský: The Burning Lungs of the Planet

Photo Exhibition at Club 29

Every year, thousands of hectares of the Amazon rainforest are deliberately destroyed. Some areas are logged, while most are burned to allow farmers to illegally claim more land. This has a profound impact on local indigenous tribes. The images in this exhibition capture the devastation left behind by agricultural and mining companies in the Amazon, the lives of native inhabitants in this environment, and the consequences of climate change that are slowly transforming our planet. This series was created during the massive Amazon fires in 2020.

The photographer has gained recognition for numerous projects in the past. He has documented the grueling lives of Japanese businessmen, drug addicts in Prague, the war in Donbas, ghettos in Africa and Asia, the aftermath of gang wars in Central America, and much more.

David Těšínský (*1990) is an independent photographer, photojournalist, and traveler. His work has been published in many Czech and international media outlets. He is also a multiple-time recipient of the Czech Press Photo award.

The exhibition runs until April 10, 2025. Free entry.
