Each book from the exhibition is covered by an expert study, which analyzes the photographic part of the book in detail and puts it into a broad political, social and historical context. The book "Photobloc. Central Europe in Photobooks" is divided into the chapters "Photobook", "Art Photography", "Building the New State", "War and Trauma", "Everyday Life" and "Voices from the Streets".
