First independent catalogue by this young graduate of Prague’s Academy of Fine Art. The book summarizes his latest work as it reflects on the petty relations of the Czech art scene with its tooth-and-nail battles for the most visible positions. Curators are disposed of in shoot-outs and competing artists play football on one team.

The book shows the artist's intense production between 1995 and 2001. Jan Rous said about his mystical work: „Hísek's fantasy produces its own dream creatures but their basis is primarily conditioned in the light. They are born from the light to fight the darkness or even beat it, they are full of positive messages, essentially sacral contents.." The hardback book is full of large-format reproductions of Hísek's paintings and drawings with the foreword of Charlotta Kotíková, Otto M. Urban and Tomáš Pospiszyl. The artist himself accompanied his work with a few poetic texts.

In this book French photographer Petit, who now lives in Berlin, experiments with shadows and her body, mostly in black and white photography. "The image that a person projects, like a stream of light that shoots out from the borderland of shadows, in there lie the moments, no past and therefore no future. What is the present? It is the fruition of the traces of some locations, some kind of memories that a person doesn’t want to forget, maybe it is something like a log-book. And isn’t life something like this? My life."
