Prý musím projít březovým lesem – Borská Štěpánka (2024)

The collection "I Must Walk Through the Birch Forest of Štěpánka Borská" invites you on a stroll through a dreamlike array of days. Extraordinary moments of the present are examined with the same interest as personal snapshots. A world where every detail matters enchants with its authenticity. Evidence of the butterfly effect recorded in a poetic chronicle. However, "I Must Walk Through the Birch Forest" is not just a diary from an ivory observatory. It is a guide. The author explores but does not reconcile with the order of things. She exercises her right to her own worlds. Sometimes, when things get tough, she heads to the cinema and in the middle of the film, she turns on the vacuum cleaner.
