Anna Fárová described Sudek´s gaze as strangely subversive, unclear, absorbed in the unusual character of the phenomenon in question; it transforms it into something bizarre through photography. Using Sigmund Freund´s term ´unheimlich´(uncanny), used in 1919, the author demonstrates the specific mood of chosen Sudek´s photographs, expressing the unknown, the uncertainty, the fear, something that could reveal suddenly, but remains concealed. This position is shown at Sudek´s photographs from the St. Vitus Cathedral (1928), Veiled Woman (1940), The Glass (1950-1954) and especially at several photographs from his cycle Prague after the Bombardment (1945).
