Karel Bucháček (1932–2008) was a mathematician working at Prague’s Academy of Sciences. Just a handful of friends also knew him as an alpine enthusiast, gardener, and photographer. It was not until he died that his vast archive gradually came to the fore. He captured the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, and during the subsequent normalization period he took pictures of everyday life, the clearance and redevelopment of Prague’s neighborhoods, the construction of the city’s metro and tower block settlements, and – viewed through a critical lens – celebrations organized by the communist regime.
