MOMENT: Dotyk smrti v Banskej Bystrici

The unique project of photographer Gabriela Teplicka and the mobile hospice Most domov documents the accompaniment of dying patients and their loved ones in the home environment.

The opening of the exhibition with a guided tour and discussion takes place on Friday, January 17, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.

When confronted with death, we are filled with apprehension, fear, a sense of uncertainty, polemics about the meaning of life, but also the power of love and closeness. The project "MOMENT: Touch of death" materializes these emotions, the power of the given moment and raises awareness of leaving this world with the help of documentary photography. Openly, directly and at the same time kindly opens up the topic of dying and death.


Gabriela Teplická is an internationally awarded photographer and vice president of the Association of Professional Photographers of the Slovak Republic. In his work, he focuses on long-term social documentaries and societal themes.

The guests of the discussion are:
- Zuzana Hajster Vozárová - doctor of the mobile hospice Most domov
- Jana Gorst - nurse with 20 years of experience. She was most influenced by hospice and palliative care and decided to work as a doula for the dying under the guidance of Alexandra Derwen. In cooperation with the non-profit organization Kolobeh života, she created the first Doula course for the dying in Slovakia.
- Gabriela Teplická QEP - photographer and author of the project.

The discussion is moderated by Patrícia Jarjabková Garajová, a long-time moderator, she makes people with mental disability and in other times also themes of death and dying.

The entrance fee is voluntary.

We look forward to seeing you!
