Hana Vojáčková is a filmmaker, video artist and photographer. Her projects share a focus on themes surrounding human physicality, examining how the body is constructed through visualisation. Often in dialog with choreography and dance practices, Vojáčková’s work explores new sets of hypothetical connections and suggests their own special orders.
Born in Prague, former Czechoslovakia, Vojáčková is based in London, UK. She received MA in Photography from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, after studying Cinematography at Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires, and after graduating with a thesis on photography in sociology from the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University in Prague. Vojáčková was a researcher in choreography and the moving image at the Inter-University Centre for Dance (HZT) at Berlin University of the Arts between 2014-2015 and in the Research Lab at Royal Institute of Art Stockholm in 2016-2017. Vojáčková was a visiting tutor at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London between 2012-2017.
