En 1970, peu après avoir photographié l’invasion de Prague par les chars soviétiques, Josef Koudelka décide de quitter la Tchécoslovaquie où il est né. Les mois d’hiver, il habite à Londres puis à Paris. Le reste du temps, il est sur les routes d’Europe à traquer les hasards. C’est pendant cette période des années 1970 et 1980 que Josef Koudelka produit ses images les plus enchantées qui composeront la série intitulée Exils, dont une partie est à découvrir ici.
Josef Koudelka has spent as much as possible of his life as a photographer making pictures of people in Eastern Europe. He left Czechoslovakia for political asylum in 1970 and shortly thereafter joined Magnum Photos. Exiles is one of his most famous series.
