This handmade book is based on the photographic series about Czech villages shot in 2013-2017. It depicts the countryside landscape in the north-west part of Czech Republic, the historical region of Bohemia. The author observes how the countryside is changing, the ways it's inhabitants construct and reconstruct their environment, following the traces of the past. Ruins, remains, old stones, all blend with nature and slowly but inevitably disappear. The old, settling down in multiple strata with time, creates a foundation for the new. This materiality, ignorant of all political changes endured throughout the centuries, still subtly dominates the lives of the inhabitants of these villages.The structure of the book makes its viewer enter these anonymous settlements, scattered in the rural area, appearing suddenly in the landscape, slowly walking along the empty streets, trying to see through the fences, noticing the details of each house, sometimes meeting some of their inhabitants but, being a stranger, just observing them from the far, and then leaving.

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.
