Man is regarded as a gust of wind. A mirage, a chimera, a daydream. Who am I?
- Maxim Horovitz, verbal activist, writer -
Each photographer approaches the topic individually, with the highest level of empathy and compassion. It is a great honor for me to be able to work with the group.
- Jindřich Štreit, photographer -

Fotografie jako obraz zachycující vlastní vnitřní příběh, příběh naznačený, nedokončený. Je to okamžik proniknutí pod povrch, do křehkého meziprostoru na hraně existence a nebytí … je to možná jen část okamžiku mapující pocit či rozpoložení, které jsou vzápětí nezvratně změněny. Fotografie je napětí a tajemství, světlo a stín, je to okamžik zalitý do ledu věčnosti.
Ten okamžik je fascinující. Chceme se ho dotknout, objevit podstatu, to co není vidět a co má zůstat skryto. Čekáme až se změní fazóna, na vteřinu zmizí maska a odkryje se pravda.
