Photo book
The figurative ending of the entire project is the photobook Už není toho dechu by Martin Lavický and Barbora Baumlová. Martin Lavický’s artistic photographs and Barbora Baumlová’s annotated conversations with Zdeněk Jiřička reveal further historical and contemporary insights that did not make their way into previous interviews, exhibitions, or the film.
Past Screenings
The documentary is part of the exhibition of the Krkonoše Museum since its opening.
