Olympian with mental disabilities Bronislav Zemek is not a flower in a greenhouse, but an example of raw unbridled humanity. Roman Sejkot's collage of expressive photographs, which won the 1994 World Press Photo Award, peers into a disturbingly spontaneous, grotesquely free world without masks or social barriers.
