Stanislav Spáčil. LEft: 17 years old, right: 102 years old. He was an electrical engineer and now lives in his own house in South Maoravia village. He thinks it is too early to think about the past. POIGNANT portraits have posed centenarians alongside their younger selves in a project called Faces of Century. The incredible images tell the unique stories of each person’s life including one woman who was in the truck that hit and killed high-ranking German Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich’s son Klaus in 1943. Another intriguing tale comes from a 101-year-old woman who decided to leave her luxury villa after turning 101 and burnt all material memories of her life including letters, diaries and photographs. She turned up at a long-term care home with nothing more than a bathrobe and a toothbrush. The extraordinary portrait photographs are the work of photographer Jan Langer (39) from Opava, Czech Republic.
