The Second Fire 19. 5. 2026 – 16. 8. 2026
Authors: Gabriela Bulišová, Mark Isaac; curator for GHMP: Karla Hlaváčková
The Second Fire is an immersive look at Lake Baikal in Siberia, the oldest, deepest and most voluminous lake in the world, which contains more than 20% of the world’s fresh water. Authors Gabriela Bulisová and Mark Isaac spent a year in eastern Siberia and created a multifaceted project that places special emphasis on the lake’s environmental problems, including increasing pollution and rapid climate change. Through experimental photography, multi-channel videos and a uniquely designed photo book, they capture the vastness and majesty of the lake, intimate moments of its resilient inhabitants and quirky sites, and the urgent dangers that threaten them.
