Description
Poppy Lekner (1972–), New Zealand
New Folk 2024
Self-published photobook
New Folk draws on photographs sourced from books that Poppy Lekner inherited from her Czech-born grandmother: Indigo blue print in Slovak folk art, by Josef Vydra, and Vltava, by Karel Plicka.
For Lekner, working with this material is a way of both creating a personal history of her grandmother and connecting to a place, people, and culture she cannot access directly.
