Although Lucia Nimcová is a photographer, one of the key representatives of young generation of Slovak film and photo documentary production documenting globalised, mainly Eastern Slovakia and the phenomenon of soc-pop, her works and activities have much broader, even visual and anthropologic scope. Aside from own interest in live and social photography (series Slovakia 003or Instant Women), Lucia Nimcová occasionally works as a curator and art historian, in particular in relation to the region of Eastern Slovakia. Nimcová searches for photographic memory of a place and a town from which she comes from (Humenné) in the effort to hunt out its mental and visual specifics (projects Ruthenians or Housing Estate). In addition to this curator’s overlap, Nimcová also attracted the attention of the jury by her currently performed photo-project aimed at mapping special “environments” of East European female toilet attendants. At her presentation in Médium Gallery, Lucia decided to focus on residual premises of the gallery – corridors and toilets. As far as other rooms are concerned, she “unassertively” yielded them to her colleagues, assuming that corridors and toilets correspond to the procedural nature of her work much better than the aesthetic format white cube. The answer to the question what does Lucia Nimcová bring to current Slovak photography and why she won the contest may say: she brings a system, concentration, interest in dismissed issues, and she supplements the classical idea of photography with so far little appreciated areas of amateur and family photography.
