Fotokárokat

Fotokárokat refers to a specific type of Czech and Slovak publication that combines photographic elements with satirical or humorous commentary. The term itself is a compound word derived from "foto" (photo) and "karikatura" (caricature). These publications often feature a collection of photographs, which can range from staged scenes to candid shots, accompanied by witty captions, jokes, or ironic observations.

The content of fotokárokat typically targets social trends, everyday absurdities, or political events, using visual humor to engage the reader. They emerged as a popular form of light entertainment, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, and were often found in periodicals or as standalone publications. The visual nature of fotokárokat made them accessible and enjoyable for a broad audience, offering a humorous perspective on contemporary life. While the specific format and popularity have evolved with changing media landscapes, the concept of using photography for satirical commentary remains a recognizable element in certain cultural contexts.
