In this book the author contemplates on the unconscious nature of taking a photo. All the images in the book were shot during the phone conversation with one and the same person.
How does a photograph happen? Who makes it? Is it me who decides what will picture turn out to be if I press the button right now? What tells me to do it? How about not thinking and letting it happen by its own? How about to lose control?
Often when you are talking on the phone while there is a pen in the hand and a piece of paper, then when you’re finished you can see strange figures, scribbles, on the paper. If you don’t go into it they tell nothing, but they’re considered by some people to be able to show something that emerges from the unconscious: fears, anxiety.
When I’m coming home talking on the phone I don’t usually have neither paper nor pen, but there’s nearly always a camera in my hand. While talking I’m taking pictures of something that draws my attention without thinking of it. It happens that I mostly talk to one person whom I see every day, our talks contain no useful information. I just let him know that I’m ok, that I exist. It turns out that both the photographs and the talks are just about nothing, just milk-and-water.

About — They started making self-published books and zines together since 2010, and in 2016 founded Zoopark Collective as an experimental platform for the future editions and collaborative projects. So far they have published more than a dozen of publications which are distributed in specialized shops in Russia, Europe and Japan. In their publications as well as video projects Tatyana and Alexander combine photography, texts, graphics, illustrations, video footage, shot by themselves or found, trying to make statements not only about their personal lives and experiences, but also about wider socio-political contexts they happened to live in.

Zoopark pays special attention to the book form and its possibilities as a medium for conveying their work. They make very limited printed editions, often manually produced and experimenting more and more with inkjet printing. Over the years Zoopark Collective participated in numerous photo&art book fairs and festivals all over Europe and in Russia, in performance and music festivals performing their live video-projections, usually in collaboration with different musicians and sound artists. From June to August of 2018 they founded and managed the Zoopark Studio / Berlin project: an experimental art space / gallery / photobooks & zines & art print shop / concerts / reading groups / artist talks etc. Since 2019 Zoopark leads practical photobook & zine making workshops.
