Svátosti (Sacraments) is an authentic poetic diary that combines literary, stylised documentary records with artistic and experimental photography. Thematically it grows from an intense love for nature, plants and tradition, which it does not simply revive but carries into the contemporary world, landscape and city. The book waits for the reader to put on hiking boots and set out to explore the country.
