A uniform symbolises the separation between the individual and their function, the citizen and the state. It also obscures the personality of the wearer.In his book Uniform, Jan Kraus portrays individuals employed in the executive and judicial branches.

Observing these individuals in their private lives offers a fresh perspective, challenges stereotypes, and prompts us to reevaluate our relationship with the state and its representatives.Text in English and German.
