How did it start 

The author of the project is Klez Brandar, French photographer living in Prague, who got here from Breton through Argentina, New Zealand, Italy, Spain (and some more). Skateboarding, photographing, playing and composing music, drinking wine, petting each dog seen in a kilometer distance, he is constantly watching people, interacting with them, gaining new energy and creating something new. No surprise he chose ‘perpetual movement’ as a main quote for the project.

The publisher of the project is Ula Jankowska, Polish bookseller and coffee addict, who came to Prague directly from Warsaw, to get to know each brick in the wall and cobble stone on the street of a city where Bohumil Hrabal lived. She was so amazed by the great amount of people she met who are such great writers, photographers, illustrators, graphic designers that she decided to start Cycling Dog Book Press to put them all together and make a book. The Book.

Ula and Klez met few years ago somewhere in Vršovice or Žižkov in Prague (they don't remember).

What's our goal

Klez wants to share his works, whatever it is - music, pictures, performance; Ula wants to work with talented people she knows and publish books (and read, of course). That's why they both want to offer you an exceptional book, which combines pictures, words, topics of 21 century and great graphic design.

Details

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words. Of course, there’s no arguing with a picture’s capacity to move. But this is now the era of not only images but also miscommunication. Do we know how to read and how to talk about images? Are they more precise than words? And should we really put boundaries and make an opposition of both beautiful arts of communicating with pictures and words?

If these questions are a trigger for you, you may want to hear more of them, asked both in words and images. Now you have an opportunity to support publishing a very special book.

Combination of 21 colorful photographs and 21 texts about 21st century culture, full of facts, impressions, observations but mainly questions about the world we live in. How architecture influences our lives? How easy tourism is changing the world? What are the consequences of mistakes in the educational system? Can art save us? Where is the excess for better understanding the way we live? Etc, etc.

This is all part of a project called Lusk Dizehan, which in Brittonic language means ‘perpetual movement’. If you think you need to be fast just… slow down, look and think. Take your time and let these 21 pictures combined with text ask you some questions about yourself.

The publication contains 21 pictures made strictly digitally, mainly at night, most of them were taken in Prague during night walks. Lights, move, blurs, shadows, reflections give the places you know new energy discovering it’s hidden potential. 

The book has a special form. It consists of photos wrapped in a poster that you can unpack and hang on the wall. But before that, pause over it and take a closer look, because only the one who is looking for answers finds more questions: the poster is an engaging and playful object full of shapes graphically depicting movement. On closer inspection, its second layer can be revealed - the text is divided into 21 sections on contemporary culture, which will inspire you as well as the photographs with which it is connected.

The Book is called ‘Lusk Dizehan’ and will be a trilingual press in Czech, English and French. 

What we raise money for

The money from the project will go to print and the costs of graphic design, typesetting, translation, proofreading, editing, printing.
