The Dancing House

The Dancing House, also nicknamed Ginger & Fred, was designed by the Croatian-Czech Architect Vlado Milunic in cooperation with the Canadian-American Architect Frank Gehry on a riverfront location. The building was designed in 1992 and was completed in 1996. The house reminds us of a pair of dancers, so Gehry initially called it "Ginger & Fred", but later he discarded his own idea, as he was afraid to import American Hollywood kitsch to Prague.

Graduated in languages, I worked several years as translator/employee and started photographing just to keep memory of my travels abroad. I started photographing in digital about 5 years ago and now my favorite photographic genres are architecture, street, minimalism and naturalistic photography. About 4 years ago I started exhibiting my photographs in several collective exhibitions in Italy and abroad. One of my last collective exhibitions was in a gallery in Rue de Seine in Paris (Galerie Etienne de Causans) during the Paris PhotoAward 2019 and my photo was sold to a Parisian collectionist.
