Moscow / Women / Sunday '89 -90

Moscow/Women/Sunday is a series of photographs, which Daučíková created during her stay in Moscow at the end of the 1980s. Over 100 portraits of women originated in the streets of Moscow on Sundays, which was when they would generally go shopping. The manner in which individual women are captured, deliberately contradicts the stereotypical image of a Soviet woman as an asexual creature. Instead, Daučíková focused on individual depiction with an emphasis on the varied age, looks, character and social class. In this way, she addresses both, the different forms gender functions in, as well as how it intertwines with social context – primarily with poverty or other less reflected social realities.
