It's good that there are real places near us where you will find yourself in another time and event. The Kafkárna sculpture workshop in Prague's Dejvice is an authentic creative environment, where you become a living model, walking around silent compositions created by the accumulation of their creators and time, which has little meaning here. The adjacent garden has grown into a rickety and dilapidated structure, which, however, will last a long time and is preserved by the atmosphere. Slávka Hajdeckerová mapped this in her photos, when she wasn't afraid that almost every shot is on the borderline of the kitsch that we all love so much. There is beauty in the photos. The book has no typesetting mirror, the photographs are arranged one behind the other in such a way that the whole creates the illusion of a slow film about a mysterious garden, to which we have the key only if we know how to search among the deposits of recent history.
