Distant Proximity
Zajac MatúšSilou knihy Distant Proximity ( Vzdialená blízkosť ) je symbióza reality, umenia a skrytej, naliehavej výzvy - volania až výkriku k zmene v sociálnych zariadeniach. Tá správa sa dá počuť, keď sa ticho ponoríme spolu s autorom knihy do záberov objektívu ktorými píše osudy ľudí žijúcich za múrmi.
Hĺbka ponoru fotografii paradoxne odhaľuje nie len ich dramatickú situáciu ale aj bolesťou osudu tvoriace sa dobro, ktoré sa zrkadlí niekde nedosiahnuteľne ďaleko v diaľke a zároveň bezprostredne úplne blízko. To všetko nevtieravo, ako keď niekto opisuje vlastný príbeh, ponúka piata fotografická kniha Matúša Zajaca
The strength of the book Distant Proximity is the symbiosis of reality, art and a hidden, urgent call - a call to a cry for change in social institutions. That message can be heard when we quietly immerse ourselves together with the author of the book in the shots of the lens with which he writes the destinies of the people living behind the walls. The depth of immersion in the photograph paradoxically reveals not only their dramatic situation but also the good created by the pain of fate, which is reflected somewhere unreachably far in the distance and at the same time very close. Matúš Zajac's fifth photo book offers all this unobtrusively, like when someone describes his own story.
